From design to manufacturing and testing, our advanced materials, market expertise, and exacting standards offer customers the performance and precision needed for the most demanding high-pressure/high-temperature, corrosive, and cryogenic applications.
Polymer seals are critical components in centrifugal compressors to minimize leakage and maintain efficiency. The type of seal selected depends on the application's requirements, such as temperature, pressure, chemical exposure, and rotational speed.
Most common thermoplastic polymer seals used in centrifugal compressors:
- Labyrinth Seals
- Lip Seals
- Floating Seals
Polymers are widely used in pumps due to their unique combination of properties, such as chemical resistance, lightweight structure, low friction, and cost-effectiveness. Their versatility makes them an excellent choice for a range of applications.
Most common applications:
- Seals and Gaskets: Chemical resistance and low-friction sealing.
- Impellers: Lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and wear-resistant.
- Casings and Liners: Protect against corrosion and abrasion.
- Bushings and Bearings: Reduce friction and wear in rotating components

Their exceptional properties, such as chemical resistance, high-temperature performance, mechanical strength, and wear resistance, make them ideal for handling the demanding conditions of this market.
Frequent applications where thermoplastic excel:
- Thermoplastic Valves: Control the flow of fluids (oil, gas, or process chemicals) within pipelines and systems
- Valve Seats: Provide a superior sealing interface between the valve and its housing to prevent leaks
- Backup Rings: Prevent extrusion of elastomeric seals under high-pressure conditions
- Plates: Provide structural support, wear resistance, or fluid separation in valves and equipment.

KAITEKI | Our Sustainability Values
At Mitsubishi Chemical Group, we are putting Circular Economy principles into action innovating toward advanced new materials and technologies with a clear focus on resource efficiency, renewable energy and materials, and the recycling and remanufacturing of products.
We find ways to extend the loop and retain value by increasing the life span of products and materials. We recover and recycle our own waste while working with suppliers to reduce their upstream Scope 3 emissions.
Additionally, we help close the loop by designing long-lasting and durable products that can be separated and collected to be recycled into high-performance products. Our goal is to provide advanced materials and solutions that positively contribute to society while reducing the overall environmental burden.
