Seal Master Corporation engineers high-quality inflatable seals and elastomeric products that meet the demands of specific applications. A key factor in our product performance is the careful selection of materials that go into every seal. So, how do we choose them? It all comes down to understanding the geometrical requirements and environmental conditions involved.
Trusted Materials for Strength and Performance
Our inflatable seals use a combination of fabrics and elastomers to deliver long-lasting durability, pressure retention, and structural integrity. Our most commonly used fabrics include the following:
- Dacron: For high strength and dimensional stability
- Kevlar®: For exceptional strength and heat-resistance
- Nomex®: For flame resistance in environments with high thermal exposure
- Nylon: For flexibility
Our elastomers are typically made of the following:
- Natural rubber: For elasticity and wear resistance
- Buty: For superb gas impermeability and chemical resistance
- Silicone: For flexibility in extreme temperatures
- Polyurethane: For high abrasion resistanceEthylene propylene: For
- resistance to weather, ozone, and a variety of chemicals
Designed Around Your Application Environment
Each material has distinct properties, and our engineering team selects the ideal combination, considering the following:
- Exposure to heat, pressure, moisture, or chemicals
- Required seal expansion direction and rate
- Load-bearing or sealing force requirements
- Any industry-specific compliance or safety regulations
- Shape, size, and material hardness constraints
You don’t need to be a materials expert to get the most from your inflatable seal. That is our job. By evaluating the above factors, we ensure optimal fabric reinforcement and elastomer composition.
