Seals are used in various applications and are used to prevent leakage of fluids and gases between different components or systems.
Seals create a barrier for the passage of substances to maintain integrity and functionality of the system. The Metal Company can help identify what seal and seal material is best for you application, this is important as some materials are not compatible with certain products
The Metal Company stock EPDM, FKM, NBR, HNBR, Silicon, Insertion rubber and PTFE these seals range across our products for Valves, Rapidpress Press-Fit system, Flanges, Unions, and more

RapidPress seals are available in various materials, including EPDM, FKM, and HNBR. They are made with a unique, patented, lenticular shape which allows for up to 20% enlargement of the sealing surface area compared to other standard press-fit seals. Watch Nicky discuss the unique features of these seals.
EPDM seals are made from ethylene propylene diene monomer rubber, a long-lasting synthetic rubber that is suitable for a variety of applications. Watch Frank discuss what EPDM seals are and the benefits of them.
NBR stands for Nitrile Butadiene Rubber, a versatile synthetic rubber that is suitable for a wide range of applications. NBR is suitable for use with food & dairy products and is known for its high resistance to animal fat and vegetable oils. Watch Max discuss.
PTFE which stands for polytetrafluoroethylene, is a synthetic polymer made up of carbon and fluorine. PTFE is used for a range of valve seats and shaft bush’s including 2pc & 3pc Ball Valves, L & T Port Valves, Piston Check Valves, Needle Valves and Threaded Sampling Valves. Watch Jake discuss PTFE seals.
Insertion rubber seals are made with cotton reinforcement to increase tensile strength and resist splitting. They are a general-purpose rubber and can withstand a low temperature range. We supply black insertion rubber as standard for our flange gaskets. Watch Max discuss.
The Metal Company uses white silicone for A Series Butterfly Valves and Sampling Diaphragm Valves. It is an elastomer that has exceptional performance. Watch Jake discuss about silicone rubber seals.
FKM seals are made from fluoroelastomer rubber, which is a synthetic rubber that offers excellent resistance to high temperatures, chemicals, and oils. Watch Frank discuss FKM seals.
