About metals
For decades, Trelleborg Sealing Solutions has used metal inserts in over-molded applications, giving additional stiffness or reducing permeation where applications require it. A typical application example would be insert-molded diaphragms for respiratory equipment.
In addition, many of our seals are used in rod, piston or valve assemblies. We can often save our customers time and money by making the entire sub-assembly, simplifying our customer’s assembly process, and reducing their number of suppliers.

About Orkot®
Orkot® is a thermoset composite material incorporating advanced polymer technologies. The material is made by impregnating a thermoset resin with fabrics, solid lubricants and other additives to ensure optimal material properties are achieved. It is ideally suited for high load bearing applications which operate in an environment that makes lubrication undesirable. The material also provides superior performance in salt- and fresh-water applications as it will not corrode like metal alternatives and its wall thickness swells less than 1%.
