Many of the most challenging sealing applications require a heavy-duty gasket that can perform exceptionally well in the harshest of conditions. Such applications often call for gaskets made from a family of fluoroelastomers called FKM. While Viton® is the generic name for FKM, it actually is a brand name of DuPont for its synthetic rubber […]
Diaphragm seals are found in industries that need maximum execution in severe environments, such as the automobile, aviation, pharmaceutical, and food and water-processing industries. Mechanical systems usually use hydraulic actuators which is one of the major factors in the applications. Rolling diaphragms are ductile fluid control tools that are used to secure a perfect seal […]
O-rings are the most common tools used for fluid sealing applications. They prevent leakages in pumps, valves, connectors and cylinders. The economic and compact components of o-rings are capable of carrying out dynamic and static operations in hydraulic and pneumatic applications. Selecting the right o-ring is important to ensure a flawless sealing solution. The smallest […]
Before the final inspection and packing, moulded rubber parts must undergo a finishing process to remove excess flashes. “FLASH” is an excess amount of rubber that oozes out between the two halves of a mould during the moulding of rubber parts. The flash occurs in areas where different sections of the mould join together and […]
