Rubber is a versatile material that can be used in hot and cold conditions due to its different types, properties and uses.

Watertight seals are a specialist sealing component or barrier designed to prevent water moving in or out of a system, protecting critical internal parts from moisture, contamination, corrosion and damage in harsh or wet operating environments.

Polyurethane is a common alternative solution to rubber for certain industrial and high-performance applications because it combines the elasticity of rubber with the toughness of metal.

Vessels often spend the winter months moored, out-of-use and in storage to be protected from harsh conditions.

Choosing the most suitable material for a replacement watertight seal for any offshore application, from marine vessels to offshore platforms, is critical.

Watertight seals are essential across the marine industry because they enhance safety measures, ensuring structural integrity by preventing water ingress which prevents flooding, cargo damage and sinking.

As the warmer weather begins to set in, more people will be planning their caravan holidays for the spring and summer months and checking your holiday home for any damage is a critical step in this planning process.

Rubber hose failure can be critical because it can cause rapid, uncontrolled loss of essential functions for many important applications carrying potentially hazardous liquids, gases or other fluids.

Polyurethane products, like polyurethane plastic, are a tough but gentle alternative to rubbers, plastic and, in many cases, metals, where extra life is required in arduous applications.
