Seals Eastern possesses several competencies and numerous capital assets allowing it to offer complete services for your sealing applications. By exploiting our competencies, as detailed below, we are able to deliver Rapid Prototype Seals.** Seals Eastern regularly designs and delivers complex prototype gaskets in a matter of weeks. Similarly, we design and deliver basic seal prototypes in a matter of days.

Seal & Tool Design Services

Seals Eastern has utilized computer assisted engineering for more than a decade. All drawings are made using CAD software. We easily engage FTP drawing transfers through a dedicated NT server for engineering department collaboration. Finite element analysis (FEA) is utilized when applicable. Our seal and tool design team has combined experience of nearly 100 years.

Tool & Die Mfg Services

Seals Eastern has a captive tool and die manufacturing facility equipped with state-of-the-art CNC, mill, and drilling operations. Electronic drawings are used to generate programmed tool-paths which are downloaded to our numerically controlled equipment. This facility produces high tolerance tooling that gives Seals Eastern the ability to manufacture the highest quality precision molded rubber products.

Rubber Compound Design & Mixing Services

Seals Eastern has a captive mixing facility capable of producing statistically consistent rubber compounds. Seals Eastern has experience formulating and mixing nearly all synthetic polymers currently available in the market. The company is able to run compound volumes ranging from 5 pounds to 5000 pounds per week. 

Our Materials Development Center offers instrumentation to monitor the quality of each batch of rubber mixed. Important material properties are verified using a computer integrated MDR2000 and Instron Tensilometer. These same instruments, in addition to others, facilitate material development and improvement for Seals Eastern customers.

Precision Molding Services

Seals Eastern possesses a line of rubber injection molding equipment and produces a variety of precision molded components whose volume, in some instances, approach one million units per month.
Seals Eastern has an extensive compression molding operation including a clean room  for the manufacture of ultra high quality sealing components.
Seals Eastern has liquid injection molding (LIM) capability. With this technology, we produce silicone bonded gaskets using a "Ford Q-1" certified process.

Failure Analysis Services

Our Engineering Team has 24 x 7 access to our Materials Development Center to analyze field failures and in some instances, re-create the failure environment. This service is an integral part of our customer support program.
