Do you know how to avoid gasket surprises?
As a leading supplier, we develop and manufacture specialized and high-quality rubber compounds and gaskets. To completely cover all applications in a chemical plant, we offer supplementary a mix of premium brands like Garlock Sealing Technologies, SGL Carbon or W.L. Gore & Ass.
ElastaGraph™
These gaskets simplify your everyday life for standard chemical processes: less effort is required to remove the gasket as there is hardly any contamination due to released graphite. The combination of shape and coating with the different graphite densities enables to provide an up to 50% better sealing effect. The corrugated shape also provides a constant "spring-back" against the flange surfaces and thus reduces the required surface pressure.
Advantages:
- Safer in use compared to other graphite gaskets (higher safe zone at low bolt force)
- Less contamination
- Easier disassembly
- High adaptability to flanges
- Reliable sealing up to a pressure of 64 bar
- Retain uniform prestressing
- Clear marking
- Lower emission value

Hoses: Process safety as top priority
One of the major challenges in the chemical industry is to ensure a consistently high level of process workflows for your critical applications. We support you with this by taking on responsibility for the assembly in our own assembly units, testing and certification of your entire hose system.
Testing procedures with extreme conditions for rubber steam hoses, formed the parameters for the ultimate steam hoses. Even a special EPDM compound still has a porous structure, causing tiny water and steam particles to accumulate in the wall resulting in the 'popcorning' effect. To overcome this 'popcorning'-effect, Goodall developed a special, non-porous rubber compound for the inner tube of the steam hoses. This tube is extruded and thus extremely smooth and non-porous. The double braid of galvanized steel wires contributes to higher safety and a longer lifespan.

High efficient IE4 motors to reduce energy costs and prolong lifespan
Electric motors account for as much as 68% of industry’s energy usage. Yet a huge amount of this energy is wasted, as chemical plants use solutions which are poorly designed, or inappropriate for their application. By reducing this wastage, you do not only help the environment, but you also cut your cost with a return on investment of three years or even less.
Engineered plastics
In the chemical sector, the materials suitable are determined based on their application. The materials can be exposed to high stresses due to the chemicals used. In most cases, inadequate resistance is manifested by swelling or softening of the plastic, which can lead to loss of usability. The following products represent a selection from our chemical resistant range.
Standard plastics
PVC-U
PVC has high chemical resistance to acids, alkalis, alcohol, oil and petrol. It also adheres and welds very well and is used for extraction systems, container linings and in the construction of chemical plants.
PE (HD, HMW, UHMW)
PE displays average to good chemical resistance to acids and alkalis. This plastic is also very weldable and is used to construct containers.
Fluoroplastics
PVDF
PVDF exhibits excellent resistance to chemicals, for example to chlorine and bromine, and can be used in a wide temperature range (from approx. –50 °C to approx. +150 °C). PVDF is used is the construction of chemical plants.
PTFE
PTFE is extremely resistant to acids, alkalis, alcohols, petrol and oil. The interesting thing about this plastic is its strongly anti-adhesive behaviour and very low coefficient of friction. PTFE is used for gasket technology.
Fibreglass-reinforced plastic (FRP) – ideal material for chemical plants
This very interesting alternative to steel convinces through the low tool costs and varied shaping options.
For areas away from production zones, it is the ideal material for a multitude of different constructions. FRP is much lighter than steel – with the same tensile strength and compressive strength. In addition, the material functions as insulation and is resistant to corrosion, alkalis and chemical cleaning agents.
