Aerospace Sealing Solutions

PolyMod® Seals are engineered for the most demanding in the aerospace industry. With a focus on durability, precision, and performance, these seals are designed to withstand extreme conditions ensuring the reliability of systems. Whether it’s for aircraft hydraulic systems or critical engine components, PolyMod® seals play a pivotal role in advancing innovation, ensuring safety, and optimizing the performance of critical aerospace systems.

The Importance of Seals in Aerospace Applications

Engine and Hydraulic systems are the backbone of modern aerospace engineering, enabling essential functions like aircraft movement, braking, and power generation. Seals play a pivotal role in these systems, serving as the first line of defense against leakage, contamination, and wear. A seal failure or drop in seal performance can compromise the hydraulic system or engine component, leading to operational failures or even catastrophic damage.

Rod Seals

Rod Seals are essential for maintaining pressure within the cylinder while preventing the loss of hydraulic fluid. These seals ensure smooth movement of the piston while effectively excluding contaminants which lead to increased wear, hardware damage and seal failure. Our Rod Seals are designed to handle extreme temperatures, pressures, and mechanical stresses, providing reliable operation over a long service life.

Features:

High Pressure Reliability: Engineered materials and designs provide optimal sealing at high pressure, PolyMod® Rod Seals prevent fluid leakage in even the most demanding conditions.
Low Friction: Our Rod Seals contribute to smoother operation, and reduced wear on the rod surface. We treated parts provide even further reduction in friction & heat generation which leads to an increase in seal life.
Contamination Prevention: The advanced materials used in PolyMod® Rod Seals prevent dirt and other contaminants from compromising the system performance.

Piston Seals

Piston seals ensure efficient performance in hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders by preventing fluid bypass between the piston and the cylinder bore. Our piston seals are designed to handle both short and long reciprocating motion, rapid pressure reversal, low and high temperature conditions, providing consistent operation and reliability.

Features:

Durable Performance: With exceptional resistance to wear and extrusion or nibbling due to high pressure, our Piston Seals extend the life of the hydraulic system.
Superior Fluid Containment: High performance material and designs ensure effective sealing in high pressure and temperature conditions.
Enhanced Efficiency: By reducing friction and heat generation, PolyMod® Piston Seals improve system efficiency, reducing energy required for operation.
