As you may already know, polytetrafluoroethylene, or PTFE, is a remarkable synthetic polymer that has found its way into a variety of applications across various industries. Its unique properties make it a popular choice for both industrial and everyday uses. In fact, it’s highly likely you’ve recently—perhaps even today—come into contact with PTFE, in one…
Inspired by innovators and used for centuries in low and high-level production, die cutting is an incredible process that produces parts, artwork, and images with a straightforward process. If you want a faster, more efficient way to create pieces for your small business or to crank out massive copies of one item, you need die…
Technicians have to be able to seal off fluids from one another or risk a massive leak or worse, a chemical reaction. But which to reach for – an O-ring or a gasket? Are the two ever interchangeable? It’s imperative you know which to reach for in different situations so you can keep your machines…
The Chevy Corvair was born with a heart defect. You see, after about 15,000 miles, the neoprene seals on the push rods would start to fail, and oil and gas would mix in the combustion chamber. Not good. The heat in the engine, and the petrochemicals, was destroying the seals. The solution? Viton Rubber seals. …
Every machine and instrument, whether large or small, is made of compact and precise materials. This is where precision die-cutting comes into the picture! As the name suggests, precision die-cutting is the intricate process of cutting and forming material into various shapes and sizes, depending on the purpose it intends to serve. What is precision…
Rubber gaskets are inventive elastic mechanical seals that prevent leaks between two surfaces. A rubber gasket is a brilliant solution to fill in irregularities and connect two different surfaces when the surfaces cannot be made air or watertight. These surfaces include automotive cylinders, piping, fittings, door edges, tanks, containers, and more. Unlike liquid-applied sealants like…
