Tip seal
One of the biggest issue of owning a scroll pump is tip seals wear out fairly quickly and can be expensive to replace. Many scroll pumps are essentially totaled if kits can't be found readily. This section is about evaluating the merits of making DIY tip seals
Commercial

How much does a pump cost.. |
Material
Busch black gasket material analysis
- Suspected to be bronze filled PTFE
- FTIR has confirmed PTFE is primary organic
- EDS analysis pending
Scrolls are anodized aluminum
likely Class 3 PTFE filled
that 1045 is even more likely
Rulon J can be made in thin film form
Yellow gasket
- Suspected Rulon J or XL
- XL - is polymers only
- J has something else
- Rulon 142 has bronze
- New edwards pumps dont use black tip seals
