Description
Abstract
The project SuMaComp aims to develop and implement innovative sealing solutions that eliminate the use of PFAS, contributing to environmental protection and compliance with emerging regulatory frameworks. The successful development of PFAS-free sealing materials will support the goal of reducing the environmental footprint of industrial processes. This project represents a significant step towards green sealing technology in the compressor industry.
