material for valves
Hi guys!
I’ve been making valves for a while now but I have some serious issues finding the aproppiate material for the seal. What kind of material are you using? Is teflon a good choice? Is there any oring-design valve out there?
Thanks in advance

I use nylon-6 for mine.

tell us about these valves you have been building. what are you using?
tks mark!

Use white delrin. Nylon absorbs water teflon is to soft and starts to extrude. o-rings will probably stick and start falling apart soon!
