ESA
Elastomeric & Polymeric Seals Division
The ESA Elastomeric and Polymeric Seals Division represents manufacturers and technical experts committed to the advancement and implementation of dynamic and static seals manufactured from elastomeric and polymeric materials.
These sealing solutions are essential for ensuring safety, reliability, and efficiency across various industries, such as energy, chemical processing, automotive, aerospace, water management, and manufacturing.
The division offers a collaborative platform to tackle technical, regulatory, and sustainability issues impacting elastomeric and polymeric sealing technologies.
By sharing best practices, providing technical guidance, and disseminating industry data, members collaborate to enhance material performance, foster design innovation, uphold quality standards, and ensure compliance with both European and international regulations.
By engaging with end users, standardisation bodies, and policymakers, the division advocates for informed decision-making and the responsible utilisation of elastomeric and polymeric seals, thereby supporting long-term industrial reliability and environmental stewardship.
"Successful sealing with elastomers" guide
An example of this is the "Successful sealing with elastomers" guide, which helps diagnose and prevent seal failures by identifying the causes of breakdowns and preventing recurrence. This guide can also be accessed in the ESA Knowledge base.
