9 Safety critical components are amongst the wide range of differing seals that are supplied. Materials have to be vigorously tested to the extreme to ensure they will live up to the expectation of either the rolling freight stock or passenger cars. Brake diaphragms and buffer seals both in single or multiple materials including fabric reinforcement can be supplied. Metal to rubber bonding s and plastic elastomers to metal bonding s are supplied for anti-vibration systems. Typical Products: Diaphragms, Dust Covers, Gaskets, Damper Seals, Buffer Seals, Accumulator Seals, Brake Seals, Metallic Vehicle Components Construction & MiningRobust designs in quality, reliability and endurance are key to the cost effective nature of solutions destined for Construction and Mining applications .

10 UTEX UK responds to these challenges with a complete understanding of the demands of these Industries . We execute this strategy by demonstrating true cost of ownership by adding value and taking costs out of the Supply Chain. Typical Products: Anti-vibration pads, Damper Seals, Manifolds, Couplings, Drilling Equipment Shock Absorbers, Assemblies, Metallic Vehicle Components Oil & GasUTEX UK have over 30 years experience in designing and manufacturing sealing products used in the exploration and production of oil, primarily in offshore situations. The demands of the market are extreme and continue to broaden, mandating technologies and engineering intelligence to cope with the collection of media, temperature, pressure and lifespan requirements of the application.
