Aircraft seals are highly complex and subject to stringent safety and design criteria. Our engineering expertise has been used to create over 10,000 designs. Over 7000 of these are in series production.
We seal essential spaces, such as landing gear, wings, engines, nacelles, windows and doors. Our products are highly flexible, yet rigid enough to maintain structural integrity.
We separate essential spaces. Our products stop fire spreading between engine zones, ensure bleed air does not bleed and hydraulics do not leak. This minimises component contamination and optimises system performance.
Our engine seals stop fires spreading between engine zones. They have to prevent a flame from penetrating the protected compartment or section for 15 minutes – or be fire-resistant (five minutes).
The seals also have to self-extinguish if they catch alight themselves.
We seal the following engine areas:
air-cooled oil cooler
breather mast/drains mast
exhaust nozzles
fan case torque box
fan/inlet cowl
thrust reverser doors
upper/lower bifurcation
