Breaking new barriers in solutions to porosity

Over the last 30 years Ultraseal has focused on ground breaking solutions to the ubiquitous problem of porosity in castings. This experience and knowledge has resulted in Ultraseal being recognised as the world leader in providing turn-key solutions through both equipment and sealant to a global customer base.By specialising on vacuum impregnation technology and associated processes and specifically focusing on the needs of its customers, Ultraseal is able to offer a wide range of services and products in the general field of fluid technology. The experience and knowledge that has been gained through combining mechanical and chemical engineering has enabled us to offer innovative solutions to the needs of industry.

Quality & Efficiency
With the relentless drive towards greater quality and efficiency, suppliers must continue to enhance their product range and develop innovative solutions to meet client demands.Ultraseal International has always been at the forefront of innovation in impregnation technology. Its success in researching and developing high-quality sealants is demonstrated by its strategic global partnership with leading companies across a diverse range of industry sectors.Ultraseal International maintains total control of the production and quality assurance processes by having all the resources from research and development through to manufacture and despatch at one centrally located site.The company is responsive to ever-changing legislative and environmental considerations, is registered to BS EN ISO 9001:2000, and is committed to achieving the highest global quality standards.

On-site Laboratory
An extensive on-site laboratory at Ultraseal’s UK headquarters performs two key functions: firstly, quality checks on raw materials as well as monitoring production (in addition to testing samples of customer’s sealants when required). Secondly, it concentrates on research and development work crucial to the implementation of new products to meet future requirements, and to maintaining Ultraseal’s world-leading position in the impregnation industry.

Research
Ultraseal’s research and development programme is supported by major universities in the UK who specialise in the filed. This synergic relationship brings together the combined resources of both parties, involving the theory and practical experience necessary for effective development. The results of these studies are invaluable tools, not only in the development of the next generation of sealants but also in fully exploring the future requirements of process equipment.
