Why use PTFE seals?
Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is a thermoplastic polymer that can be used in a variety of sealing applications; it is particularly suitable where the application conditions exceed the parameters of elastomeric seal use, but are not as highly demanding as applications that require the use of metal seals.
Seals for Renewable Energy Applications
Renewable energy is derived from our planet’s natural resources such as sunlight, wind, rain, tides, waves, biomass and thermal energy stored in the earth’s crust. With increasing fossil fuel prices, and the very real threat of global warming and climate change to our planet; the development of renewable energy production sources is more important than ever.
3D printing for seals
3D printing has developed significantly and now performs a crucial role in many applications. 3D printed products vary from fully functional to purely aesthetic applications; with the most common application being for manufacturing. Here we discuss how our engineers use 3D printing to demonstrate a seal concept.
Seals for Hydrogen Applications
Hydrogen is the most common element in our universe, and is becoming an increasingly vital part in decarbonisation and a global sustainable energy future for our planet.
