Trelleborg has launched Flexspacer, at ONS 2012. This unique product has been specifically developed to effectively create an air gap between topside pipelines and thermal insulation, thereby avoiding the corrosion that can occur when using traditional insulation systems such as mineral wool. By stopping direct contact between the insulation material and the pipe, Flexspacer prevents…

Trelleborg Sealing Solutions launches Turcon M30 sealing material, which is engineered to withstand and optimize performance against the extremely hard ceramic coatings that are the eco-friendly alternatives to chrome plating of rods in hydraulic aerospace applications. Tests prove that the new compound increases seal life to reduce planned maintenance, extend flight hours and ultimately lower costs.

Trelleborg Sealing Solutions has launched an updated version of the recently released iPhone app “ISO Fits & Tolerances” that allows switching between inch and metric measurements. Providing results based on the ISO 286 System of Limits and Fits, the updated version also adds additional tolerance classes and is available in English, Spanish, German and Dutch.…

Trelleborg Sealing Solutions, supplier of an integrated spring-energized seal to leading syringe pump manufacturer TriContinent Scientific, worked with the company on the development of a novel pump platform seal design to solve a problem for one of TriContinent Scientific’s customers. The resulting seal design provides much more consistent sealing force on the sealing lip, resulting…

Trelleborg Sealing Solutions announces the launch of its patent-pending Turcon® Variseal® PS, a PEEK-energized seal with extremely low leach-out in semiconductor wet processing applications. This product is notable for its engineering integrity, expressly for its superior purity in semiconductor applications. It is an all-polymer product with no metallic components. A further development of the traditional…

Today’s applications require that cylinders be pushed to move faster, use higher pressures, or last longer than ever before.  In addition, they are expected to run with higher efficiency and minimal leakage.  These conditions mandate that sealing systems work with optimum effectiveness. Matching the required sealing solution to cylinder demands is a straightforward process.  First,…
