One of the materials you can choose from for rubber seals is FFKM. This material has been specially developed for use in extreme conditions, such as in oil refineries, the chemical process industry and aerospace industry. In this article we…
When processing drinks and food in the food industry or medicines in the pharmaceutical industry, it is essential that no contaminants enter the product. It can still happen that unexpected particles from parts of the machine deteriorate, such as from…
Perhaps you are familiar with the phenomenon: condensation occurs in cold pipes in the HVAC system and standard insulation therefore no longer works properly. We now have a suitable insulation material for this. This material insulates excellently and is antibacterial….
Deformable rubber: that sounds like a contradiction. Rubber is by nature a solid material. It only deforms when it is pressed, which requires high compressive forces. Yet there is one type of rubber that is easily deformable: foam rubber. Cellular…
Everyone knows silicone from the medical world, but it is also extremely suitable as a sealing material. Silicone seals are the right choice if a plastic or coloured seal is required at high temperatures. This is by definition a static…
NDS-Seals supplies total solutions in the field of seals in a wide variety of constructions. Usually NDS-Seals is therefore directly involved in the design of new constructions. In this way we can ensure that the right seal is made to…
For boiler builders it is very important to use the right seals in the construction of their central heating boilers. Seals are widely used in the construction of these boilers. These ensure safety and a long service life of the…
Hardness is one of the most commonly used properties to specify a rubber. The most commonly used gauges for measuring the hardness of rubber are the durometer and the IRHD meter. The hardness of rubber measured by means of a…
Author: Marjolein de Wit-Blok Not infrequently, the specialists of NDS-Seals – supplier of mainly rubber seals – receive a design with the statement that ‘we also need a seal in it’. Or you can give some advice. That is always…
Biofuels are liquid or gaseous substances, such as biodiesel. They serve as a renewable alternative to fossil fuels in the EU transport sector and help reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Biofuels damage rubber, so using the wrong materials will damage the…
