Inflatable Silicone Seal
Inflator seals are inflated with air using a pressure regulated supply system. When pressure is applied the seal inflates to conform to uneven surfaces and provides a reliable barrier from moisture, dust and other contaminants. Inflator seals can operate in temperatures from – 60ºC to +200ºC and even higher temperatures for shorter periods of time. Expansion capabilities (the ability to close a gap) vary by profile. However, the larger the expansion gap the larger the profile.
What are the advantages of inflatable seals?​
Variable sealing gap: Suited to applications where sealing gaps vary. The seal expands to conform around uneven surfaces.
Airtight seal: Silicone inflatable seals can form airtight seals and are used in many medical, pharmaceutical and life sciences applications.
Watertight seal: An ideal choice for a variety of marine applications.
FDA approved: Silicone inflatable seals are made from FDA and EC1935/2004 certified materials making them suitable for use in food processing applications.
Steam resistant: We can manufacture inflatable seals from steam resistant grades of silicone.
