Gallagher is regularly a top 10 Parker distributor, stocking standard parts in its King of Prussia, PA and East Longmeadow, MA branches. The Gallagher engineering department also works with Parker engineers to create custom sealing solutions for our customers.
Parker provides a wide range of specialty elastomers to accommodate the various critical sealing challenges presented by the life sciences industry. Selecting a suitable material is critical to patient health. For this reason, the FDA provides a standard (21 CFR177.2600) defining allowable rubber compound ingredients and extractibles based on toxicity and carcinogenicity.

Historically, technology to produce large diameter molded O-Rings has been limited by press and molding capabilities. One of Gallagher’s premier vendors, Parker Hannifin, has created a proprietary continuous molding technology which ensures the strength and reliability of large diameter FKM, HNBR, NBR and EPDM O-Ring seals. Parker’s solution eliminates the sealing performance problems sometimes found with common spliced rings and serpentine molding methods.
