Future-proof materials for bulk solids handling
The shifting regulatory landscape regarding per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) has created a pressing need for compliant materials in the bulk solids and processing industries. STASSKOL has responded by developing innovative material solutions that eliminate PFAS while maintaining the high performance required for demanding mechanical environments.
Alternative solutions for varying temperature ranges
For applications operating below 100 degrees Celsius, the company offers ESKABASE materials based on UHMW polyethylene. These are specifically formulated to replace conventional PTFE in sealing technology and wear-intensive applications. When thermal requirements exceed 100 degrees Celsius, STASSKOL provides alternatives based on advanced polymers:
- Polyaryletherketones such as PEEK, PEK, and PEKK
- Polyimides (PI) for extreme conditions
- Polyphenylene sulphide (PPS)
Tailored performance through customized formulations
The new material range is designed to address specific industrial challenges, including chemical resistance and food safety compliance. Through the use of specialized fillers, STASSKOL can modify the property profiles of these PFAS-free matrices to match the exact requirements of the application, ensuring high pressure and media resistance.
Collaborative development for industrial partners
Beyond its current portfolio, the company is seeking industrial partners to co-develop further PFAS-free solutions. This collaborative approach aims to create future-proof materials that comply with environmental standards while optimizing the service life of components in bulk solids processing and chemical engineering.
