Our bespoke industrial jackets, wraps, gaskets and seals offer high temperature, low temperature and environmental protection. We have helped develop tailored products across many industries, including: aeronautical, aerospace, oil & gas, marine, water, construction and manufacturing. We have worked with a variety of clients, ranging from the Ministry of Defence through to Formula One. An essential part of our expertise is our ability to understand and develop a brief. Based on mutual trust, communication is an essential part of this process and allows us to achieve great things with our clients. Bespoke development projects come in all shapes and sizes and Fortafix has the breadth of experience to remain the UK's partner of choice.
We were approached by a Cryogenic company to see if we could source and manufacture a material that would withstand extremely low temperatures.
These units are filled with a molecular sieve and baked to a high temperature. The bags are then placed in the vacuum space of a cryogenic container with operating temperature of -196°C. The purpose is to “mop up” any moisture in the vacuum space to ensure the pressure does not deteriorate, and ultimately causing the failure of the vessel.
A specific design for a unique project, these seals had to withstand high temperature and water ingress around bulkhead openings.
