NEXA produce perfluoroelastomer sealing elements for critical applications, where high temperatures, water steam, wet applications, purity and chemical resistance are the factors to be faced. Our mission is to find the right and durable sealing element for the worst working conditions. The philosophy of the Company has always oriented the activities in order not to become only supplier of sealing elements (O-Rings, Special parts and so on) but to be customer consultants and develop the right product for every different application. Our strength is the technical and production capability to develop and realise special compounds always improving their properties with reference to the working parameters to be supported. Our production is focused to enhance the sealing performance in aggressive environments in particular segments of the market like food, pharmaceutical, semiconductor, aerospace and petrochemical industries.

Long life of the sealing products

The NEXA seals, thanks to their resistance to chemicals and high temperatures present very low values of embrittlement and swelling, typical reasons of premature failure of every kind of seal and gasket. It means that our products have long life reducing maintenance costs, failure risks and increasing productivity. In some cases the performance of the seals have been enhanced so much that, while another sealant elements only worked 45 hours, the NEXA products worked for more than 4300 hours continuously in Grade one conditions.
