Steel

In the industrial world, downtime is not an option. FTL Technology has engineered a suite of innovative sealing solutions to keep your steel processing operations running efficiently under virtually any conditions – resisting extreme pressures, temperatures and aggressive chemical media.

Premium materials

In the steel industry, product solutions have to be durable and capable of delivering consistent long term performance. Mineral oil based hydraulic fluids are often replaced with more aggressive fire resistant micro emulsions, adding a layer of complexity to material and seal specifications. FTL Technology has a proven track record for offering premium materials and unique product design solutions, specified to the duty they have to perform.

Technical support

FTL Technology has the expertise to provide a custom solution to fit any industrial sealing requirement perfectly, from precision O-rings to complex assemblies. Many of the solutions we have engineered for customers are so innovative and successful – such as RodasRam and Varipig – they have emerged as standalone FTL products.
