Product Description

The CPI name is synonymous with technological innovation. We are committed to proactively developing technologies that increase reliability and performance by creating special materials with unique problem solving capabilities.

Special Materials

CPI proprietary Special Polymer Alloys have been successfully applied to piston and rod sealing components, providing excellent reliability and efficient performance. These materials have enabled many compressor operators to achieve longer seal lives compared to other materials available. They have also made it possible for changes and improvements to compressor designs which have significantly improved reliability and reduced operating costs. CPI Special Polymer Alloys solved the problem of seal life in existing non-lubricated compressors. They are also used to convert lubricated compressors to non-lubricated operation in ways that were not previously possible with traditional filled PTFE materials.

CPI Material Processing:

Compression Molding

Standard filled PTFE grades are typically free sintered whereas the specialty alloys are hot compression molded.

Injection Molding

Thermoplastics such as nylon and PEEK are injection molded in high volumes or unique shapes.

Extrusion and Transfer Molding

Thermoplastics are also extrusion or transfer molded to achieve unique or complex part designs and large diameters that are not possible using traditional compression or injection molding techniques.
