Seals

Our seals are designed to work in conjunction with our toggle clamps to create a spill-proof and airtight seal to our mixing / storage vessels, cans with lids and pails. These seals are BS4825 Part 3.

We offer the following "O"-ring seals as standard. Other profiles and materials are available to special order.

To order seals please specify the seal type, container type and container capacity in litres.
For mixing / storage vessels use V, for cans with lids use C, for pails use P.

For example:

  • Nitrile V50 = Nitrile seal for 50 litre vessels
  • Silicone C6 = Silicone seal for 6 litre can with lid
  • Viton P10 = Viton seal for 10 litre pail
