Space Symposium Exhibit to Share Expanded Polymer & Metal Seals Solutions Portfolio

GARDEN GROVE, Calif. - Feb. 27, 2020 - PRLog -- Saint-Gobain Seals, a designer, engineer and manufacturer of critical, engineered seals and polymer material solutions, will be exhibiting at the 36^th Space Symposium at Booth #1172 (https://space20.mapyourshow.com/8_0/floorplan/?hallID=C&selectedBooth=1172&shareguid=19A4EE7A-BB2F-CB97-072E7B4178A0DCAC), sharing their expanded sealing solutions portfolio that now includes both polymer seals and metal seals. Recent acquisitions of American Seal & Engineering (https://www.seals.saint-gobain.com/news/saint-gobain-acquires-american-seal-and-engineering-co?utm_source=PR-022720&utm_medium=PR-022720&utm_campaign=Space-Symposium-PR-022720) and HTMS businesses (https://www.seals.saint-gobain.com/news/saint-gobain-seals-adds-portfolio-acquiring-htms-high-temperature-resistant-metal-seals?utm_source=PR-022720&utm_medium=PR-022720&utm_campaign=Space-Symposium-PR-022720), specialists in metal sealing technology for a combined 60 years, have strengthened Saint-Gobain Seals' portfolio and provides access to a complete system of polymer and metal seal solutions that address extreme temperature and pressure challenges often encountered in the space industry.

This year, Saint-Gobain Seals not only presents solutions that are helping the space customer tackle future visionary projects but also those with a proven pedigree. Their OmniSeal® RACO® spring-energized seal (https://www.seals.saint-gobain.com/products/omniseal-raco...) has been used in many space (https://www.seals.saint-gobain.com/industries/space?utm_s...) applications since the start of the NASA program 60 years ago (https://www.seals.saint-gobain.com/sites/imdf.seals.com/files/saintgobainseals-placeinspace.pdf?utm_source=PR-022720&utm_medium=PR-022720&utm_campaign=Space-Symposium-PR-022720), e.g., Apollo program, space shuttle program, Mars Rover exploration program and Space Launch System (SLS) program. As a way of sharing their decades of knowledge and to help engineers and manufacturers in the space industry gain critical engineering insights, Saint-Gobain Seals recently released a special technical white paper (https://info.seals.saint-gobain.com/polymer-metal-sealing-solutions-in-critical-cryogenic-space-applications) that explains other stressing factors that affect sealing performance aside from leakage rate. Titled "Polymer & Metal Sealing Solutions in Critical Cryogenic Space Applications: Going Beyond Leakage Rate," the white paper details key as well as overlooked factors related to seal selection for core systems in extreme environments as experienced in cryogenic fuel tanks (https://www.seals.saint-gobain.com/sites/imdf.seals.com/files/space-acs601-omnisealraco-fueltank.pdf?utm_source=PR-022720&utm_medium=PR-022720&utm_campaign=Space-Symposium-PR-022720), feedlines and fuel valves (https://www.seals.saint-gobain.com/sites/imdf.seals.com/files/space-acs600-omniseal103-rocketengine.pdf?utm_source=PR-022720&utm_medium=PR-022720&utm_campaign=Space-Symposium-PR-022720).
