Continuous sealers maintain constant heat and use moving belts for rapid, uninterrupted sealing, ideal for high-volume production lines. Impulse sealers generate a brief electrical pulse to heat the sealing element, then cool under pressure, making them suitable for thick films, heat-sensitive materials, and intermittent use.

Find out if a standard heat sealing tool works on Mylar bags and learn the key steps for achieving a strong, airtight seal every time.

Discover how to combine the low-friction properties of PTFE with the high-strength, high-temperature resistance of PEEK in a single seal design to enhance performance in demanding applications.

Spiral wound gaskets are used to create reliable seals in high-pressure and high-temperature applications, commonly found in piping, flange connections, heat exchangers, and pressure vessels across industries like oil and gas, chemical processing, and power generation.

This article provides a step-by-step guide to correctly installing an expanded graphite gasket, covering surface preparation, handling precautions, and proper bolt-tightening procedures to achieve a reliable, leak-free seal.

The required surface finish for flanges using ring joint gaskets is typically a smooth machined finish, often with a roughness average (Ra) of 3.2 µm (125 µin) or finer, as specified by standards like ASME B16.5, to ensure proper sealing by allowing the gasket to deform and fill imperfections without leakage.
