Chemically Inert WD-40 Lubricant Valve for Use with Diverse Solvents, Cleaners, and Specialist Chemicals.
Product Description:
Maximize the versatility of your aerosol platform with our Chemically Inert Valve. Constructed from high-grade PTFE (Teflon) and FFKM (Perfluoroelastomer) seals, this valve is engineered to withstand exposure to a vast range of aggressive chemicals, including strong solvents, ketones, acetones, and acids that would rapidly degrade a standard valve. This allows formulators, laboratory technicians, and industrial manufacturers to use a standard aerosol canister for dispensing a wide variety of custom or proprietary chemicals beyond traditional lubricants. The valve provides a consistent, reliable spray pattern and a perfect seal, ensuring the purity and performance of your specialized formula are maintained from the first spray to the last. It is the ultimate enabling tool for R&D departments, specialty chemical companies, and any user who needs a dependable delivery system for non-standard aerosol applications.
Bullet Points:
Constructed from PTFE and FFKM for supreme resistance to aggressive chemicals.
Allows for the safe and effective dispensing of strong solvents and specialty formulas.
Maintains seal integrity and formula purity where standard valves would fail.
Ideal for R&D labs, chemical formulators, and industrial manufacturing.
Provides a reliable, consistent spray pattern for a wide range of chemicals.
Specific Application Scenario: A pharmaceutical company uses these valves on custom canisters filled with a specialized solvent for cleaning delicate production machinery, relying on the valve's inertness to not contaminate the process.
Factory Production Floor: This valve is assembled in a cleanroom environment due to its use in sensitive applications. It uses specialized, low-extraction materials to prevent any leaching.
Packing and Transportation: Packaged in vacuum-sealed, glassine bags to ensure cleanliness. Shipped with full material safety data sheets (MSDS) for the valve components.
FAQ:
Q: Is this valve really necessary for standard WD-40 products?
A: No, standard valves are perfectly suited for WD-40's product line. This is a specialty component for companies filling their own cans with aggressive or high-purity chemicals.
Q: What chemicals is it compatible with?
A: It is compatible with virtually all industrial solvents, acids, and bases. We provide a detailed chemical compatibility chart to our B2B clients.
Q: Can it be used for food-grade or USP Class VI applications?
A: The materials themselves can be sourced to meet these stringent standards upon special request for an additional fee and with lead time.
Q: Is there a minimum order quantity for this valve?
A: Yes, due to its specialized nature, it typically has a high MOQ, as it is intended for industrial and formulation clients, not consumers.
Q: How does it compare to a standard industrial valve?
A: It far exceeds the chemical resistance of standard nitrile or Viton seals, offering near-universal compatibility, which is critical for protecting the integrity of sensitive formulations.
