Plate seals

Plate seals are used in aerospace and defense applications where sealing and tightening functions need to be separated. Shapes are optimized for easy assembly. The use of specific rubber compounds enables them to withstand extreme pressures and temperatures, ensuring long-lasting performance in harsh environments, without compromising on weight. Plate seals are qualified for military and aerospace applications, and commonly used in access panels, interface seals, and other critical areas where reliable sealing is essential for system integrity and safety.
