Japan · AIST: Sales of long life, high heat resistance and high pressure O-rings – World’s first commercialization

– World’s first single-walled carbon nanotube applied products mass-produced by the Super Growth method –

point

  1. Practical use of heat-resistant O-ring containing single-wall carbon nanotube
  2. Significantly improved compression set which is a measure of long-term sealing
  3. Longer life expectancy is expected to reduce frequency of replacement under high temperature / high pressure environment and to replace metal seals
  4. Metal seal members such as automobiles and aircraft have been required to be replaced with lightweight materials from the viewpoint of energy saving.
