RIVER AND MARINE HYDROELECTRICITY
From initial design through to on-site installation, the BORFLEX® Group offers you its unique expertise and 100 per cent French manufacturing. As experts in the field of static and dynamic sealing, we manufacture all your rubber components to protect your hydroelectric installations.
Drawing on its industrial expertise, our group formulates and processes RUBBERFLOW®, an innovative elastomer blend designed to meet the most stringent industry standards and specifications for the hydropower sector, including DIN 19704-2.
As well as providing a watertight seal, the RUBBERFLOW® range is specifically formulated with additives to ensure high performance when subjected to mechanical, chemical and climatic stresses:
The formulations in this range meet the technical requirements and approvals of the sector’s leading operators and engineering firms: EDF, VNF, CNR, GE HYDRO, Ponticelli, EIFFAGE, ENDEL ENGIE, Cockerill, etc.
BORFLEX® employs specialist engineering expertise designed to take account of the actual conditions on site. Our technical teams can visit your construction sites directly to provide technical assistance and support during installation.
Technical details from the official BORFLEX® brochure for your design offices.
To permanently eliminate the weaknesses associated with conventional bonding, BORFLEX® uses an industrial moulding and corner-clamping process. This method produces one-piece sealing frames that are extremely reliable.
Thanks to our industrial production facilities, we design and manufacture profiles of all sizes, with a technical capacity of up to 70 kg per linear metre (kg/lm).
The RUBBERFLOW® compound is a proprietary formulation developed by the BORFLEX® Group. It is designed to meet the most stringent standards for sealing hydraulic systems and to ensure the longevity of components when subjected to the stresses of the sector.
