Unmatched Durability and Performance Designed for the Nuclear Power and Decommissioning Sectors

Elastomeric sealing materials are ideal for use in the demanding nuclear power and decommissioning sectors due to their durability, resistance to extreme temperatures and radiation, and ability to maintain flexibility and sealing ability over a range of temperatures.

NES provides a range of products and services using NORSOK-approved polymers for exceptional chemical resistance and temperature performance.  These solutions undergo rigorous testing to ensure their suitability to extreme environments, including high-pressure and underwater locations.

With our advanced membrane technology, we’re confident that our seals will outperform the competition and deliver high performance, durability, and value.

Effective and Innovative Sealing Solutions for Pharmaceutical and Medical Applications 

Pharmaceutical and Medical applications often require demanding sealing solutions that are able to offer compliance to a variety of industry standards, temperature capability, and chemical resistance. These seals must be able to cope with an extensive range of process media and aggressive cleaning and sterilisation processes, as well as adhering to industry hygiene standards.

NES offers a comprehensive range of high-performance sealing materials and solutions, from standard off-the-shelf encapsulated seals to custom-engineered, bespoke inflatable and moulded solutions.

NES also provides a comprehensive range of services developed to assist with material selection, materials testing, and failure analysis.

Supporting Overall Growth and Advancement of the Renewables Sector

The renewables sector refers to the generation of electricity from renewable energy sources, such as solar, wind, hydro, geothermal, and biomass.

As the renewable energy sector continues to grow and demand advancements, NES elastomeric seals have been developed specifically to enhance the overall functionality and maintenance of the renewable energy system.  This means they are extremely durable, being able to withstand extreme temperatures both low and high, high pressures, and resistance to chemical damages.

By providing high-performance seals and gaskets for use in renewable energy equipment, NES aims to improve the efficiency and reliability of the equipment, while reducing downtime and maintenance costs.

Supporting Continuously Expanding Processing Capability in Smaller Envelopes 

NES provides top-quality polymer sealing solutions specifically developed to meet the unique demands of the semiconductor industry. Our advanced solutions offer low particle and low trace metal contamination, compatibility with most process media, and verified low out-gassing materials for contamination-critical applications. We have an expert team available to provide tailored recommendations for your specific requirements, ensuring you get the best solution possible.

Our comprehensive service includes on-site cleanroom manufacturing (ISO6/class 1000 level), specialist ‘vac-pac’ packaging, and full manufacturing traceability to ensure we meet all legislative and manufacturing performance standards. By choosing NES, you’ll benefit from increased system uptime, fewer cleaning requirements, and a lower cost of ownership.

Sealing Solutions for the Space Sector: Strong, Reliable, and Safe

Sealing is particularly important when it comes to space, as the harshest environment requires strong sealing for functionality and safety. To overcome this obstacle, NES has specially developed the Astra Seal® to combat the harsh environments associated with liquid nitrogen and the problems associated in sealing other cold media, such as liquid nitrogen and hydrogen.

Alongside our sister company, Rubbercraft, we are able to offer fully approved materials, supported by our wide-ranging experience, within the IPS Group which extends to EMI-RFI shielding.

Flexible Elastomeric Sealing Solutions for the transportation Sector

Reliability and safety are guiding principles in the Transportation industry, and NES aims to produce and supply products that meet, and exceed, those requirements.

Whether the customer needs resistance to media such as cleaning fluids or oil, a material to reduce the risk of flammability, or a seal to reduce the risk of failure, NES can respond.

Using only high-quality, Western-sourced materials, our Technical and Materials Manager is on hand to help with material specifications, material selection, and material testing.
