Composite Seals (also known as Koppers in South Africa)
are used in precision gland and piston applications and are energised by a nitrile rubber O-Ring.
Composite seals (Koppers) should be made of PTFE with a high percentage of bronze to give the product excellent sealing characteristics and return movement of the piston.

to ensure that the product performs to a very high standard. You will be able to identify a Fuzion Trading 40% bronze filled PTFE composite seal by its GREEN colour. If in doubt…ASK!
