Electromagnetic Valves Ex TORK

Ex solenoid valves are designed for the safe control of media flow, such as water, steam, oils, or neutral gases, in explosive environments. These valves meet strict ATEX certifications for zones 1 and 2, making them suitable for use in the chemical, petrochemical, and other industrial sectors. 

Types of seals include:

  • NBR (nitrile rubber): Suitable up to 80 °C. 
    Liquids: hydraulic mineral oils, lubricants, motor fuels, diesel, petrol, water, beer
    Gases: air, inert gases, natural gas, LPG (propane/butane), CO₂ in gaseous phase

  • EPDM (ethylene-propylene): Suitable up to 130 °C.
    Liquids: Water, antifreeze mixtures, detergents, syrups, juices
    Gases: air, inert gases, CO₂ in gaseous phase

  • FKM (Viton): Resistant to high temperatures and chemicals, ideal for aggressive liquids and vapours. Suitable up to 160 °C.
    Liquids: Fuels, oils, water, glycols, antifreeze mixtures, diesel, asphalt, 
    Gases: Benzyl alcohol, air, hydrogen, natural gas, LPG,

  •  PTFE (Teflon): Extremely resistant to chemicals and temperatures, ideal for highly corrosive environments. Suitable up to 180 °C.

The correct choice of seal is crucial to ensure the long life and reliability of the valve in specific operating conditions.
