Trelleborg Sealing Solutions launches a range of colored coatings for O-Rings. Based on superior coating technology, these surface treatments are ultra-thin and resistant to cracking and peeling. Allowing segregation of similar seals, they demonstrate almost the same properties as comparable clear coatings, facilitating both push-fit and automated assembly.
As O-Ring materials are usually black, one seal may appear almost identical to another, but can vary slightly in dimension or be of different compounds. A large number of O-Rings may be used in one assembly. This is especially the case in automotive component manufacture and installing a seal in the incorrect location can cause leakage or even seal failure.
Trelleborg Sealing Solutions provides a wide range of readily available colored coatings, including turquoise, pink, brown, green, white, blue, yellow, orange and red. The surface treatments can be applied to most seals, standard or custom, in the majority of elastomer compounds.
