  • Publication number: 20140216636
    Abstract: A rubber/resin composite seal material having a base material of a rubbery elastomer and a fluororesin film that comes into contact with a fluid to be sealed, bonded to the base material with an adhesive. The seal is resistant to deterioration by reactive materials such as plasma, chemicals and heat yet remains flexible and may be repeatedly compressed. The rubber/resin composite seal material may be formed into the shape of an O-ring or other sealing structure.
