Saves Precious Oil, Prevents Costly Equipment Breakdowns

Nifty Lifts, Australia makes Hydraulic Lifts for forestry, mining and construction use. The lift is subjected to severe vibrations, impacts & shocks. The hydraulic fittings (1/4” – 3/4” BSP) on the lift loosened and leaked frequently and led to customer complaints. Conventional sealing methods failed to perform under such severe conditions.

Saves Customer Reworking Time and Field Failures

Silvan is a leading OEM of agricultural pumps and spray equipment in Australia. They tried several conventional sealing methods to seal the PP (polypropylene) threaded joints on their spray equipment but these failed to seal the joints. Even anaerobic sealants do not work on plastic joints.

Eliminates Shredding and Customer Complaints

A leading Indian OEM of electrical switchgear manufactures used PTFE tapes to seal the drain valve and plug threaded joints in their single-phase and three-phase electrical distribution transformers. However they received field complaints of leakage, shredding of PTFE tape & clogging.

Reduces Wastages and Improves Process

Maya Appliances is manufacturer of domestic food processors in India. In their processor jar assembly they used a 2-k epoxy to seal screw that was used to secure the drive coupling. Using a 2-k epoxy involved mixing both parts and was time consuming. The mixed epoxy also had limitations on pot life and resulted in wastages of mixed epoxy

Maintains Seal under Pressure and after Slight Adjustments

An Indian manufacturer of domestic water purifiers used ptfe tapes to seal the plastic pipe thread joints. Though no leaks were detected at assembly / testing stage, the joints loosened during transportation & handling causing leak. PTFE tapes offeres lubricity that many times results in over tightening of the plastic joints – leasing to cracks and under vibrations – aids loosening. PTFE tapes also tend to shred and lose their sealing properties when the joints are re-adjusted.
