- **Caution**: 
- **Caution**: 

### Q: What materials are used in this sealing system and why?
**A**: The system uses Fluoroelastomer (FKM/Viton) for chemical resistance, PTFE for low friction, stainless steel for structural integrity, and engineering plastics like PEEK and UHMW-PE for durability and precision in demanding coating applications.

### Q: How does this sealing system prevent coating material leakage?
**A**: It features precisely engineered sealing gaskets/lips and a pressure adjustment mechanism that maintains consistent contact between die components, creating a reliable barrier that prevents leakage even under high-pressure coating operations.

### Q: What maintenance is required for this sealing system?
**A**: Regular inspection of sealing gaskets for wear, periodic adjustment of the pressure mechanism, and replacement of consumable components based on operational hours and coating material compatibility. Proper cleaning between material changes extends service life.
