With the growing global demand for cleaner energy sources like LNG, hydrogen, and nitrogen, sealing systems must perform reliably across a broad temperature range—especially in cryogenic conditions.

Fluorten manufactures semi-finished and finished custom components using VICTREX CT™ 100 and CT™ 200, part of a new family of PAEK-based polymers developed to meet these challenges.

VICTREX CT™ 100 delivers excellent ductility at cryogenic temperatures (down to -196 °C), with high elongation and reliable mechanical properties, making it ideal for dynamic sealing applications.

VICTREX CT™ 200 features a lower static and dynamic coefficient of friction, minimizing torque and wear—allowing space savings, and enhanced durability.

Both materials offer:

• High chemical resistance

• Low permeability

• Dimensional stability at low temperatures

• Faster thermal response for consistent sealing

• Excellent performance from -269 °C to +260 °C, depending on the application

Thanks to these properties, VICTREX CT™ polymers outperform conventional fluoropolymers like PCTFE, offering superior sealing reliability and extended service life in demanding cryogenic environments.
