What’s Inside?

• Minimize Downtime: Understand how reducing stiction in static sealing applications can prevent prolonged downtime, streamline preventative maintenance cycles, and enhance productivity.
• Enhance Efficiency: Discover solutions for dynamic applications where elastomer seals can inhibit movement, ensuring your equipment operates more smoothly and efficiently.
• Innovative Surface Treatments: Explore various surface treatments, focusing on Trelleborg’s proprietary Seal-Glide® technology that offers sanitary, sustainable, and less chemically aggressive alternatives to traditional methods like PTFE coating and chlorination.
• Proven Results: See empirical evidence showing how Seal-Glide® decreases stiction force on stainless steel, aluminum, and quartz surfaces, extending the life and performance of your elastomer seals.
