What are the most common Sprayer seal types and their differences?
Despite seeming like a small detail, a valve's O-ring material is very important. The interior seals inside of a pressure sprayer perform several important functions. They help the pump to operate efficiently and keep liquids from dripping or leaking. Chemicals can be very caustic and can damage the internal seals. The two most common type of seal materials are:
VITON seals:
Viton fluoroelastomer seals are known for its broad chemical compatibility. These dense synthetic rubber polymer seals are 4 times more resistant to degradation and are hard wearing than generic seals. Its is commonly employed in various gasket, O-ring and other rubber sealing solutions, such as automotive seals, transportation fuel applications and aerospace seals, pumps and valves.
Viton seals are compatible with aggressive solutions to prevent the liquids from causing mechanical damage to the pump system. Viton seals also work with solutions that contain oil or solvents and are the best choice for solutions within the pH scale of 1-7.
EPDM Seals:
Similar to Viton seals, EPDM seals also weather resistant, highly flexible, will recover well after being compressed / squeezed, and can be stretched to a great extent without breaking. The primary difference between Viton and EPDM is in their chemical resistance. EPDM is compatible with a broad range of water-based chemicals used for residential applications, has excellent low temperature tolerance, while also being much economic compared to its counterpart.
Pressure Sprayer Maintenance Tips:
- Thick mixtures can clog the spray nozzle. Such mixtures should be strained to prevent blockages.
- Over a period of time some chemicals can leave a build-up of residue which may not be completely removed during regular cleaning. This build-up can collect around the seals in your sprayer, which may eventually stop the sprayer from working. To overcome this problem, we recommend that the bottle be half filled with hot (not boiling) water. Pressurise and spray for a few minutes. The hot water should dissolve any built-up residue allowing your sprayer to operate smoothly.
- Following to be ensured before use:
- Insert internal pump assembly and tighten container cap firmly by hand.
- Tighten the safety valve and hose retainer cap to prevent air escaping.
- Firmly screw the lance assembly to the trigger handle.
- Must not exceed the indicated ‘Maximum Filling’ level.
- We recommend having separate dedicated sprayers for garden fertiliser and for weed killers. To avoid any accidental mix up during use, these units must be appropriately labelled for identification.
- After every use, gently pull the safety valve upwards and hold until all air has been released. Do not release pressure by unscrewing the container cap.
- Ensure that the sprayer is not pressurised and does not contain any liquid during storage.
