Beyond Omniseal® Blog

The holiday season is here, which brings memorable moments, good cheer and the perfect time to share Omniseal Solutions’ sealing and polymer tales of what our teams have been up to this year. Our first tale takes you to the coolest of distant planets that may someday be home.  Our second takes you to magical places that never shut down while our third tale takes you through medical breakthroughs that improve lives.  Our fourth tale takes you on a safe and comfortable road trip no matter the weather conditions.  Our last tale ends with a look at a greener and brighter future.  

It’s officially autumn/fall and for many that means crisper weather, colorful foliage and a period of transition from summer to winter. This changing of the seasons is not only the perfect time to look ahead to 2019, which is right around the corner, but also to look back on several key events in 2018 that have us moving in the right direction for our space, life sciences and industrial markets. 

Most seals and polymer components are not visible to the human eye; however, these critical parts hold a “hidden” value that go beyond in core systems, influencing all aspects of our daily lives. What places you ask? Our Omniseal^®, Rulon^® and Meldin^® products have been in some rather interesting and historical places that you may not have known about and our heritage does go way, way back—more than 350 years. 

With the weather warming up in many places across the globe, it’s time to sit back, reflect, and enjoy some rays with a few interesting summer reads. What might you find tucked in the travel bags of our engineers and plastics experts?  Read on to see various trends and insights in the polymer industry that we hope you enjoy. We love to learn so please share recommendations on other good articles in the comments field below. 

#The countdown is on! From March 27 to 29, we’ll be exhibiting for the very first time at CIPPE, the world’s largest Petroleum & Petrochemical Technology and Equipment Exhibition. The event kicks off in Beijing, China, and is expected to draw over 110,000 attendees. CIPPE is the premier gathering for leaders in exploration, production and transportation equipment for the oil and gas industry.  It’s also an ideal place to showcase our OmniSeal^® polymer spring-energized seals, which are at the forefront of advanced-sealing technology for reducing fugitive emissions in oil and gas equipment, along with our Rulon^® and Meldin^® material solutions.

What other innovations can be found at Saint-Gobain Seals’ Booth #665 in Hall W3? Why is being at this event so timely for us and the oil and gas customers in China?

We’re very excited to welcome you to the first post of Beyond Omniseal — the new blog by Omniseal Solutions! Part of a new initiative to support our refreshed website, we are building a collaborative forum for our customers, engineering colleagues and all who have an interest in working together to find solutions that improve our daily lives. The blog will feature an array of timely topics and helpful hints to help you solve your challenges in design engineering, product application and manufacturing.
