Stafford, TX August 1, 2005 - France Compressor Products, an EnPro Industries (NYSE: NPO) company, announces a new specialty performance material, FSP 2020, for reciprocating compressor piston rings, rider bands and packing rings for “bone-dry” applications.

FSP 2020 material is specifically designed for high pressure, non-lubricated air compressors.  This material is ideally suited for use in the PET Bottle Blowing Industry.  FSP 2020 seals perform extremely well in applications where conventional materials have failed due to accelerated wear and because of its unique anti-extrusion properties; this grade also performs well in some lubricated applications.

FSP 2020 is now available for your reciprocating compressor needs.  France Compressor Products is dedicated to the continuing development of new materials to meet and exceed our customer’s expectations and needs.
