30KC Polymer Seal

Cartridge Design for Sealing Powders and Viscous Fluids

The Chesterton 30KC Polymer Cartridge Seals are used in dynamic rotary seal applications. This cartridge design uses high‑performance, filled PTFE materials proven to withstand the high shear rates, frictional heat, and abrasives that are common when pumping high‑viscosity products or moving powders.

The 30KC is designed with an inboard sealing element, an outboard sealing element, and built‑in flushing ports. The inboard lip seals process fluid, the outboard lips seal barrier fluid, and the flush port allows for flushing. The versatile cartridge design is extremely tough and able to withstand adhesion between the sealing surfaces and shaft due to reacted material and dry‑running capabilities.

The 30KC high‑performance, filled PTFE compounds are coupled with the unique seal design to provide excellent fluid compatibility, temperature resistance, and reduced frictional force, thus improving performance and reliability in demanding applications.

All engineered cartridges are custom manufactured to equipment dimensions, eliminating the need for equipment modifications.
