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.
MULTI-SWELL material creates a seal where the available compressive load on the gasket is low, or where the flanges are not rigid enough to compress a standard gasket material in the areas between bolts.
MULTI-SWELL material creates a seal through a combination of highly compressible material and the interaction of the gasket with water or oil that causes the gasket to swell and create load.
