About Inflatable Seals
Inflatable seals are elastomeric tubes designed to expand and round out with the introduction of a medium (usually air) to form a tight barrier between a mounting and striking surface. Inflatable seals are used to form barriers between uneven surfaces to maintain pressure or keep out moisture and contaminants. They can be custom-molded into a specific configuration depending on the application and can be concave, convoluted, or flat. The plane configuration of an inflatable seal can be radial in, radial out, or axial.
