Precision Polymer Engineering: Introducing Perlast® Super-Six

Published: 28th April 2026 | Issue 104 Share article:

Precision Polymer Engineering has supported industrial valve operators across the UK and beyond for over 50 years, developing high performance elastomer sealing materials at the cutting edge of polymer science. Our scientists and engineers developed Perlast® – our range of perfluoroelastomer (FFKM) materials – to offer superior valve sealing solutions with enhanced performance and improved functionality.

Perlast® Super-Six

Perlast® Super-Six is a group of six of the most popular Perlast® grades across industrial valve applications. This family includes high temperature grades (G77X and G75B), food approved and chemical resistant grades (G74S and G80A), and low temperature grades (G75LT and G90LT).

… vs Temperature Extremes

Perlast® G77X has been formulated for class-leading high temperature capability, up to 350°C, as well as exceptionally low compression set over extended periods. And with Perlast® G75LT and G90LT sealing down to -46°C, the Perlast® Super-Six family delivers peerless long-term durability against any thermal challenge.

… vs Aggressive Chemicals

Perlast® FFKMs demonstrate almost universal chemical resistance, being effectively a rubber form of PTFE. In virtually any media, and against the most stringent clean-in-place and sterilisation-in-place processes, these materials will outperform and outlast when seal failure is not an option.

… and Compliance

Perlast® Super-Six FFKM material grades are fully compliant with key industry-specific regulations, including but not restricted to FDA, USP Class VI, and 3A 18-03 compliance for food and pharmaceutical applications, and excellent Rapid Gas Decompression (RGD) performance for valves under the highest pressures.

Where are Perlast® Super-Six materials used?

Perlast® FFKMs have been proven in critical valve applications across a diverse range of industries, where chemical resistance and purity are paramount. These include:

  • Food & Dairy
  • Pharmaceutical & Biomedical
  • Chemical Processing
  • Energy
  • Aerospace
  • Mechanical Seals

More than a sealing material…

The Perlast® Super-Six family of FFKM material grades is backed by comprehensive technical support delivered across a global network. No matter where your valves are operating, expect excellence as standard from our team of sealing specialists from the first call to installation, and beyond.
