The Power of Seals in Pharmaceutical Production

In pharmaceutical manufacturing, maintaining product integrity, preventing contamination, and ensuring compliance with regulations are top priorities. Seals, such as O-rings, gaskets, and other components, are crucial in helping achieve these goals.

Seal Selection Guide: How Different Specifications Dictate the Type of Seals Needed

Here's a detailed guide on how temperature range, pressure, and fluids and viscosity specifications will dictate the type of industrial seal you need.

Food Safety Starts with Metal Detectable O-Rings

Metal detectable O-rings are essential for maintaining safety in the food and beverage industry’s production processes. Combining rubber and metal fillers, these innovative seals ensure that any contamination caused by seal degradation is quickly identified using metal detectors or X-ray scanners.

The Shore Thing: Choosing the Right Durometer for Your Application

When it comes to sealing solutions, choosing the right O-ring is critical, and one of the most important factors to consider is shore hardness. But what exactly does this term mean for your project?
