Vesconite Bushings Increase Lifespan of Roller Chains on Scraper Reclaimers by 5x
Vesconite Hilube is a thermopolymer, designed for particularly difficult operating environments. Hilube is specifically recommended for moist and underwater applications. These include the pump and marine industry, where regular maintenance is not practically feasible or cost-effective. Displaying superior wear life, especially in poorly lubricated and dirty conditions, Vesconite Hilube has been shown

GORE® Gasket Tape
GORE® Gasket Tape is a 100% ePTFE form-in-place gasket that delivers worry-free sealing performance for large steel flanges (Series 500) and large glass-lined steel equipment (Series 1000). While this product has a number of advantages, a few years ago, GORE® made a significant design change in the adhesive size to ensure easier placement and handling of their proprietary gasket tape.

Cryogenic Seals
When designing for low temperature sealing, the first step is to define the temperature range that the seal will be operating in.
Typically, cryogenic as seals are those that are operating below -65 Fahrenheit. Gallagher's partner, Eclipse, chooses this benchmark because they currently have elastomers that have a usable TR10 value at this temperature.
When designing at this level — with high temperatures around 300 Fahrenheit — an understanding of what level of

Hardware Recommendations - Dynamic O-Ring Gland Design
What is an O-Ring Gland?
The O-Ring gland (also known as O-Ring groove) is a very important design feature for anufacturing both efficient and cost-effective O-Rings.
The most important consideration for gland design is that it allows for proper and complete compression between the groove and the mating surface. While the shape of the O-Ring relies and depends on the application, shape is generally unimportant.
