Hollow O-rings have long been used in enclosure applications and many other static applications.
Parker TechSeal Hollow O-rings can extrude, splice, and vulcanize extremely large o-rings that would be too costly to mold. Their dimensions can easily be customized with no tooling cost, truly making them the economical alternative to molded products.
Watch the video above to learn more about how TechSeal hollow O-rings can be utilized in your assemblies or enclosures.
Gallagher Fluid Seals recently held its 60th anniversary gala, inviting employees, family, and friends to Sunnybrook Country Club in Blue Bell, PA for a night of celebration and reflection.
As Gallagher celebrates its 60th anniversary, we've decided to use this space to look back, and discuss what the future holds.
The year was 1956. Elvis Presley owned the airwaves, and was emerging as one of the world’s first rock stars. Felix Wankel (Germany) developed the first rotary internal combustion engine. The cost of a first-class stamp was three cents. And in a small house in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, with four young children and a wife, Walter B. Gallagher started Gallagher Fluid Seals.
DuPont Performance Materials (DPM) is a leading innovator of thermoplastics, elastomers, renewable-sources polymers, high-performance parts and shapes, as well as resins that act as adhesives, sealants, and modifiers.
Gallagher Fluid Seals is a long-time partner of DuPont™, predominantly focusing on the Kalrez® line of products which is part of DPM. The latest perfluoroelastomer offering from DPM, Kalrez® Spectrum™ 7275, offers a higher level of sealing performance in the most aggressive chemical processing and manufacturing environments.
At Gallagher, we strive to provide sealing solutions where there had been failures, which is why we're pleased to tell you about Garlock's MULTI-SWELL material.
One common issue we come across is the inability to seal “less-than perfect” flanges in piping systems. To combat this problem, our partners at Garlock created the award-winning MULTI-SWELL™ gasketing material.
A few months ago, we talked about new railroad regulations that require shippers and terminals to take responsibility for manway NARs, or “non-accidental releases.”
In that blog post, we discussed how our partners at Parker sought out a sealing solution for manway gaskets that could eliminate the leading causes of NARs.
While we think it’s worth revisiting this important topic, we believe it’s also worth your time to watch the video from Parker that we've shared below. In this clip, the company explains how it reduces NARs with manway gaskets.
