PTFE Cladded Dam Rubber Seal

Dam gate seals are designed to either retain water, prevent water penetration, or limit contaminated run off in civil engineering a Dam Gate Seals Application: Quality of Rubber Concept dam gate seals are very well accepted by various Gate Designers, Fabricators as well as Contractors, and been installed by Government and Private agencies, In concrete dams, tunnels / spillways, head regulator of intake structure, by-pass channels and draft tube of power house, the flow of water is controlled with the help of hydraulic gates. To prevent flow of water past a closed gate, seals are provided either on the gate or on the metal frame in the gate slot, 

• Here at The Rubber Company we manufacture a wide variety of rubber gate seals to suit any application and environment. We produce our gate and dam seals from high quality rubber compounds in order to preserve the service life of the seal. The entire gate seal range features a high tensile strength as standard. Our gate seals also feature excellent abrasion and tear resistant properties. These properties are crucial as it enables the seal to withstand frequent use, while also maintaining sealing properties, If required we can coat many of our rubber gate seals with a high quality PTFE coating. A key advantage of PTFE coating is that it significantly reduces surface friction without the need for lubricant. On average the coefficient of friction can be reduced by over 70%, regardless of the base rubber compound, 


• Flat bottom seals on high head gates should project no more than the deflection required to seal e.g. 3-5mm. If required we can coat many of our rubber gate seals with a high quality PTFE coating.
