Failure is not an option in the most demanding sealing applications. Valves continually strain the capabilities of sealing solutions, and elastomer solutions are often not enough. The unparalleled reliability of high-performance metallic seals from our partners at Technetics can help excel in the face of these challenging scenarios.
In these extreme environments, high-performance metallic seals combine state-of-the-art engineering with advanced materials design to deliver a product that exceeds expectations and stands up to the rigors of these applications.
Why Use High-Performance Metallic Seals?
Traditional sealing methods, such as elastomers or graphite seals, present limitations when extreme environments come into play. Under the tremendous workload of valves in these applications, they can lose tightness or deform, presenting distinct challenges.

Food, Beverage, and Pharmaceutical Regulations
Stringent government regulations mandate that food, beverage, and pharmaceutical manufacturers keep foreign material out of ingredients to ensure food and drug safety for consumers. Preventing foreign material from entering the processing stream is of the utmost concern but there must also be measures in place to detect contaminated product and quarantine it before distribution.
Component parts that are used in food and drug processing equipment can become damaged by improper installation and/or excessive shear experienced during operation that causes fragments of rubber, plastic, and metal to contaminate ingredients. Chemicals used for cleaning and sterilization of equipment can cause rubber seals to degrade, increasing
