Carbon Capture & EOR
Carbon Capture utilisation and storage (CCUS) will play a key role in global efforts to reduce emissions while ensuring the world can continue to thrive. Oil and its place in the world has been simplified, with most believing that oil equals Bad...
Hydrogen Fuel Cells, Deionised Water and PTFE
PTFE can act as an effective anti-corrosion barrier when storing deionised water and prevent rust from developing- making it perfect for high pressure electrolysis.
Selecting the right Seals
Find out more about our seal selector tool, which helps take away a lot of the wasted time and hassle looking for the right seal type and material for your project.
Engineering a Composite Seal for a Pharmaceutical Company
We were given the opportunity to manufacture and develop a PTFE and elastomeric seal for a pharmaceutical powder processing application. The seal it self was to be made from PTFE, which would then have a FDA compliant silicone rubber seal moulded onto it.
AN INTRODUCTION TO PTFE
PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) is an extremely hard-wearing material used for a wide variety of applications and is well-known for its non-stick properties.
PTFE COATING BENEFITS
The main benefit of PTFE coatings (such as Teflon) is the non-stick properties of the material, which means applications such as commercial bakeware have excellent non-stick / release properties and are very easy to clean.
Choosing the best PTFE filler for your application
PTFE can creep and deform under heavy loads, a disadvantage that can be avoided by adding a filler in order to benefit from the properties of both materials. Fillers can also add properties such as improved thermal conductivity, for applications that demand good heat dissipation.
The Benefits of 3D printing
In addition to subtractive manufacturing and our injection moulding capabilities, we can now offer additive manufacturing of parts and components through our new 3D printer.
