Marine propulsion

Working in partnership

Much of our work within the marine propulsion industry is carried out in partnership or close co-operation with system manufacturers, in many cases under strict confidentiality agreements.

Our work incorporates design consultation, the formulation and testing of suitable sealing materials, plus in-house testing and validation of seal components prior to operational trials.

The early involvement of our materials and applications engineering teams can save a great deal of time and money, helping to identify and resolve potential issues at the design stage, avoiding the need for re-engineering and retro-fitting once equipment is in operation.

Test facilities

Our world-class elastomer development and test facilities enable us to carry out in-depth studies into the  interactions between our seal materials and the environments in which they are used.

But beyond this we can fully test the functionality of the seals themselves on dynamic test rigs specifically designed to mirror the full range of marine propulsion applications. Sophisticated instrumentation and data logging facilities  allow complete analysis of performance which can be used by our Applications Engineering specialists to optimise designs.
