The Advantages of Mowtec Materials
We only use the most trusted, reliable and approved suppliers from the industrial chemistry sector to provide us with the raw composite materials we use to produce our high quality components
“High quality products from high quality, diligently maintained manufacturing systems and material handling.”
Materials
The correct storage, handling and treatment of raw materials through to the completed manufacture stage is incredibly important. It’s essential for systems to be inspected and maintained frequently. Contact surface equipment is carefully cleaned to completely remove contaminents that would otherwise affect the integrity of the product.
List of materials and their properties
Mowtec create bespoke seal products with both standard and non standard raw material composites. A considerable percentage of our output utilises the following synthetic compounds.
Silicone Compounds
- Superior static seals
- Extreme temperature environments
- Increased tear strength
- Formidable thermal conductivity
- Preferable to traditional organic rubbers
Fluorosilicone Seals
- Fluorinated side chains
- Improved oil and fuel resistance
- High and low temperature tolerances
- Lower tear strength, limited abrasion resistance
- Suitable for static applications
- Not suitable for brake systems
Neoprene Compounds
- Temperature range (-40°C – 250°C)
- Resistant to petro-oils
- Resists oxidation and ozone degradation
- Suitable for tough environments and applications
- Resistant to UV/sunlight
Nitrile (NBR)
- Widely used elastomer in aerospace
