Inflatable Seals

Many applications use our standard inflatable seal profiles. Although we employ many industry standard profiles, most applications are custom made. If you require a custom solution that does not use one of our standard profiles, please download and send us a completed data sheet with your requirements.

Common properties for elastomers and their uses for an inflatable seal or bladder will vary by application. Each application will require a brief study to determine the appropriate compound and material usage. Most inflatable seals are made using a 65+/-5 durometer Shore-A compound. Temperature and chemical resistance issues can also be addressed by utilizing custom compounds for a given application.

Configuration options and available materials can be found on our Technical Information page.
  Every inflatable seal is custom made per your requirements. Each seal can be made utilizing a custom compound, corners or radius corner. Tooling may be required to complete your project.

 


Notice: Custom work of applications

Custom applications will increase lead times to allow for tooling. Most applications can be completed within 1-2 weeks with custom tooling requiring an extra 2-4 weeks, so plan your project accordingly.
