J-Flex silicone rubber seals used by the aviation industry worldwide

Air crews breath more easily

J-Flex is supplying aircrews worldwide with 'neck dams' - comfortable tight seals fitted to smoke hoods that prevent smoke or gas inhalation in the event of hazardous problems. The requirement was an inert material that would also not cause skin allergies so we sampled a high strength, FDA compliant, 40 Shore Hard silicone rubber precision calendered at 0.4mm thick with a fine fabric impression to aid bonding to the headgear.

Aviation standards worldwide do not take second best and we are delighted to report that after several months of intensive testing J-Flex is now the preferred supplier, producing to date some 5,000 square metres of material.

J-Flex silicone rubber seals and foam profile seals are used for various sealing applications. Contact us to find out more.
