Bullet Points:
Built for durability and chemical resistance with aggressive industrial formulations.
Delivers reliable dose uniformity for precise application of lubricants and cleaners.
Features heavy-duty gaskets (e.g., Viton) ensuring leak-proof seals with solvents and oils.
Designed for positive, gloved-hand compatible actuation in tough environments.
Resistant to clogging from particulates common in industrial products.
Specific Application Scenario: Used in aerosol cans of precision chain lubricant for manufacturing equipment. Mechanics use a set number of metered sprays per chain link, ensuring consistent lubrication coverage without over-application or drips that attract dirt, optimizing equipment performance and lifespan.
FAQ:
Q: What level of chemical resistance do your industrial metered aerosol valves offer?
A: We offer valves with gaskets and critical components made from high-performance elastomers like FKM (Viton) or FFKM, providing excellent resistance to hydrocarbons, solvents, acids, and bases common in industrial lubricants and cleaners. Specific compatibility is confirmed per formulation.
Q: Can these dosing valves handle high-viscosity lubricants?
A: Yes, our industrial valves feature optimized metering chamber designs and stem pathways specifically engineered to reliably dispense higher viscosity formulations without clogging or inconsistent dosing.
Q: Are the gaskets resistant to swelling with penetrating oils?
A: Absolutely. We utilize gasket materials specifically selected and tested to resist swelling and maintain sealing integrity when exposed to common penetrating oil ingredients like ketones and esters.
Q: How durable is the actuation mechanism for frequent use?
A: Designed for industrial MRO use, our valves undergo rigorous cycle testing (often 10,000+ actuations) to ensure the spring and stem mechanism provides consistent, reliable performance throughout the can's life.
Q: Do your metering valves work with all standard aerosol cans?
A: Our valves are manufactured to industry-standard dimensions (e.g., 1-inch or 20mm mount) ensuring compatibility with standard aerosol containers. Specific compatibility should always be confirmed during packaging development.
