We manufacture a wide range of soft seat configurations across many industries supplying major global customers.
Applications
Valve seats and seat inserts - seats for all types of valves including ball valves, butterfly valves, gate valves, chokes and plug valves.
Valve stem seals, including chevron packing and all types of energised seals.
Complete valves, valve liners and linings.
Materials
Among the materials in which we manufacture valve components are the following:
PTFE, all filled grades of PTFE. Modified PTFE (TFM) and filled grades.
Fluoropolymers of all types including PCTFE, ETFE (including filled grades), ECTFE and PVDF.
High performance plastics including PEEK, PEI, PPS and various specially developed grades of polyamide
Rubber
For the categorisation of valve operating characteristics (in particular operating torque) plastic valve seat materials can be grouped in three categories Stiff, Normal and Flexible.
"Stiff" materials include filled grades of high performance engineering plastics such as PEEK.
"Normal" plastic materials include virgin PEEK, polyamides and PCTFE.
"Flexible" materials are mainly PTFE (and its derivatives) both filled and unfilled.
Capabilities
We can develop many materials for specific valve applications.
Standard sizes ranging up to 1550mm (larger sizes available upon request)
