As required
Depending on the type of Metal Seal, the solution can be used for static and semi-dynamic face or axial sealing in extreme temperature, pressure, vacuum, and radiation environments.
Applications include:
- Low to moderate load with high spring back (C-Seal, V-Seal, E-Seal)
- Medium to high load with increased spring back and wider sealing surface (Spring-Energized C-Seal)
- Ultra-high vacuum and cryogenic sealing (Aluminium Spring-Energized Seal, O-Ring)
- Shaft and bore sealing in semi-dynamic, rotary, and reciprocating applications (Axial C-Seal, Lip Seal, Comma Seal)
- Non-circular and shaped geometries (Shaped Seal, Machined Seal)
- High spring back for large flange movement or thermal cycling (V-Seal, E-Seal)
- High seating stress for rough surface finishes or soft flange materials (Spring-Energized C-Seal, Aluminium Spring-Energized Seal)
- Long-term static sealing under radiation exposure (C-Seal, Spring-Energized C-Seal)
- Standard fitting interfaces (Boss Seal for AS5202, E-Seal for AS1895)

Case Studies
Discover in depth information and practical application tips in these use cases
Industrial Heavy-Duty Butterfly Valves
In extreme conditions such as dirt, hot or freezing environments where safety is required at the highest standards, industrial high-performance butterfly valves are used. Designed for tight shutoff and precise flow control, these valves not only protect the workers in the field but also provide reliable operation necessary in high-pressure, high-temperature, and corrosive industrial environments.
Hot Runner & Injection Molding Systems
In complex industrial equipment such as hot runner systems, precision is a necessity. Hot runner and stack injection mold tools are designed to improve machine efficiency and product output for high quantity parts. Typically composed of sprue bushing, manifold, nozzle and gate components, the equipment also uses mold channels that are maintained at melt temperature.
Submarine Data Cable System Metal Components
Did you know that 99% of all data that moves around the world is operated undersea? Internet traffic is driving demand for submarine data cables, which are fiber optic cables laid on the seabed and act as a main link in data transfer between continents.
Sealed Carbon Dioxide (CO₂) Laser Systems
Lasers are used in industrial production with high success. Some of the advancements in processing industry would not be possible without lasers. Carbon dioxide (CO2) lasers are among the oldest gas-based lasers. The long lasting legacy of carbon dioxide (CO2) has ensured that their costs remain extremely attractive compared to competing lasers.
