Our spring energized seals - Highly efficient control of cooling circuits

Dynamic applications that are required to function without lubrication put a greater emphasis on seal design and the materials being used.  Especially in the case of dry running seals which are subject to high temperature and high pressure conditions,  MoldflonTM-PTFE serves to efficiently seal circuits and achieves efficient  performance and a long service life. Advanced polymer technology combined with many years of practical experience allow our team of engineers to  select the correct combination of material and seal geometry for the application in question. Our seals meet requirements for lifelong leak tightness, safety and functionality under a wide range of operating conditions for maximum performance and longevity.
