Inflatable Seals for Pharma Isolators: Leakage, Validation & Material Risks Engineers Often Overlook
Pharmaceutical isolators are built to eliminate risk. The irony? Many isolator failures start right at the seal interface.
Western Rubbers
Established in 1972, Western Rubbers specializes in manufacturing inflatable seals, rubber extrusions and rubber & PTFE diaphragms. With over 50 years of experience, our seals are made up of elastomers having specially developed in-house formulations, which make our seals not only appealing in aesthetics but also long lasting in extreme environments.
