Elast-O-Pure® EP75 Black ethylene-propylene-diene (EPDM)

Our Elast-O-Pure® EP75 Black grade of ethylene-propylene-diene is rated to USP 30 Class VI classification for pharmaceutical use. We precision mould 'O' rings of all sizes and standards from this synthetic rubber, as well as producing custom-moulded items for the pharmaceutical and bioprocessing industries.

Elast-O-Pure® GF75 Black - DuPont™ Viton® GF

Our Elast-O-Pure® GF75 Black is a fluorocarbon elastomer based on Viton® GF-600S polymer. James Walker developed Elast-O-Pure® GF75 Black to meet the stringent requirements of the pharmaceutical and bioprocessing sectors. Rated to USP 28 Class VI, it provides excellent resistance to steam and strong mineral acids, and exhibits very low Total Organic Carbon (TOC) levels.

Elast-O-Pure® SIL70 Translucent

Elast-O-Pure® SIL70 Translucent elastomer has been developed to meet the stringent requirements of the pharmaceutical and bioprocessing sectors. This platinum-cured pharmaceutical grade of silicone is rated to USP 30 Class VI, and is available in a hardness grade of 70 IRHD, making it suitable for a wide variety of fluid sealing duties. Our confidence in promoting this material is based on over 30 years of successful supply to the pharmaceutical industry.

Elast-O-Pure® Hygienic Clamp Gaskets

We have developed our Elast-O-Pure® Hygienic Clamp Gaskets, based on Elast-O-Pure® EP75 Black ethylene-propylene-diene elastomer, that is rated to USP 30 Class VI, to meet the stringent requirements of the pharmaceutical and bioprocessing sectors.

ColorGrip™ Clamp Gaskets

ColorGrip™, from Integra Companies Inc, combines the ultimate in mechanical design with Elast-O-Pure® EP75 Black rated to USP 30 Class VI, as the ideal EPDM elastomer to meet the stringent requirements of the pharmaceutical and bioprocessing sectors.

DuPont™ Kalrez® perfluoroelastomer sealing & fluid handling products

We are authorised distributor in the UK, France and Ireland for the design, supply and technical support of sealing and fluid handling parts made by DuPont from its many grades of Kalrez® perfluoroelastomer (FFKM). Various Kalrez® grades are suitable for high purity applications in pharmaceutical production and bioprocessing. DuPont™ Kalrez® 6221 and 6230 are especially suited to WFI systems, SIP cleaning and other critical systems.

Fluolion® Integra White jointing

Our creep-resistant PTFE jointing Fluolion® Integra White with USP 25 Class V classification is recommended for gaskets in pharmaceutical and bioprocessing applications. We supply it in sheet form or as precision-cut gaskets to any shape, size and quantity.

James Walker Gylon®

The combination of James Walker and Gylon® - from Garlock Sealing Technologies - brings together two of the most respected names in fluid sealing. This provides the best modified PTFE sheet materials currently available for an extensive range of applications, particularly where aggressive chemicals are handled or hygiene is top priority.

Other sheet jointings & flange gaskets

Chieftain® carbon-fibre based jointing is recommended for waste product and general steam handling application. We produce precision cut gaskets - almost instantly - to any shape, size or quantity from any sheet material using CAD/CAM controlled abrasive waterjet cutters and laser systems.

Tank lid seals

Our Tankatite® range of resilient packings will seal lids on static tanks, road and rail tankers, ISO containers and marine hatches. Specific grades cater for all known bulk liquid cargoes in all IMO classes, as well as chemicals, aggressive cargoes under an inert gas blanket, heated cargoes, and higher lid pressures.

Tension control fasteners

RotaBolt^® tension control fasteners provides accuracy to ±5%. These converted bolts and studs are custom-manufactured for critical applications where the failure of a bolted joint would have serious health & safety, environmental or financial consequences. They are widely used on pressure vessels, heat exchangers, pipelines, mechanical plant and structures.

Hydraulic sealing products

Our family of hydraulic sealing products covers virtually every hydraulic application. Ranges of rod/gland seals, piston seals, wipers and bearing strips suit the most accurate instruments and control actuators up the heaviest jacks and cylinders. All the products are designed to give optimum equipment performance with long trouble-free operating life.

Expansion joints & bellows

We provide the complete engineered solution to ductwork expansion problems. The Comflex® range of expansion joints and flexible bellows that we design, manufacture and install are famed for their reliability and longevity in aggressive environments. They can operate at temperatures from -60°C to well over +500°C.

Plant maintenance & refurbishment services

The maintenance and refurbishment of valves, pumps and other plant is a key service we provide. Skilled craftsmen at our dedicated workshops use the best equipment, materials and components for repair and refurbishment projects, and all plant items are tested and certified before re-installation. Our on-site staff are fully experienced and hold safety passports.
