Chemical Processing
Sealing for chemical and processing technology is determined by a variety of requirements:
- Seals must operate in demanding operating conditions including temperature extremes or fluctuations, high pressures and aggressive media.
- Hygienic and safety requirements must be met.
- Project-related needs frequently range from smaller to medium lot sizes.
- Materials are often required to carry a specific certificate of approval, such as FDA, BAM or 90/128 EEC.
At Trelleborg Sealing Solutions, we aim to satisfy these requirements for our customers. Product solutions range from our high-performance Isolast® material for use in high temperature or aggressive media applications to developing individual logistic solutions to meet customer needs.
