The BORFLEX® group designs and manufactures parts and profiles for the hydroelectric and hydraulic industries.
With 60 years' experience inhydroelectric, river and marinewaterproofing, the BORFLEX® group has extensive resources for :
- Production of sealing gaskets (valves, flaps, cofferdams, gates)
- Elastomer compound design (Rubberflow® 700)
- Tooling design
We offer customized solutions, made in France and adapted to our customers' needs.
THE RUBBERFLOW® WATERPROOF ELASTOMER RANGE
RUBBERFLOW® is a range of elastomers specially designed for river waterproofing applications.
In addition to sealing, elastomers must fulfil several essential functions:
- - Abrasion resistance
- - To the heartbreak
- - Deformation resistance
- - In heat and cold
- - To hydrocarbons
- - Residual deformation after compression
- - Aging
- - Ozone and UV resistance
RUBBERFLOW® elastomeric compounds can be used for sealing functions at various levels:
- - upstream valves
- - bottom valves
- - cofferdams
- - dock fenders
- - flap
- - door boat
- - bajoyer
- - sector valves
- - lock gates
- - slides
- - pumping stations
In addition to sealing, elastomers must fulfil several essential functions:
- . abrasion resistance,
- . resistance to tearing,
- . the resistance to deformation,
- . resistance to heat and cold,
- . resistance to hydrocarbons,
- . the compression set,
- . ageing,
- . etc.
The mixes in the RUBBERFLOW® range meet the specifications of the main contractors (EDF, VNF, CNR, etc.). These mixes are intended for all types of seals:
- . attached musical notes,
- . reinforced canvas joints,
- . blocks,
- . angles,
- . angle iron,
- . dock fenders.
THE MANY APPLICATIONS OF ELASTOMER SEALS IN THE HYDROELECTRIC SECTOR
