Flange Forming

Epoxy flange forming is a process that involves using epoxy resin to create a durable and effective seal between flanges on tanks and vessels and in piping systems. This method is employed when traditional methods like gasket installation may be impractical or when a leak-resistant and corrosion-resistant seal is paramount.

During epoxy flange forming, a precise amount of epoxy is applied to the flange surfaces, creating a conformal and protective layer. This epoxy layer fills irregularities, forming a tight bond that enhances the structural integrity of the joint. This technique is especially valuable in environments where aggressive chemicals, high temperatures, or pressure differentials pose challenges.

Epoxy flange forming provides a reliable and long-lasting solution, reducing the risk of leaks and ensuring the integrity of the vessel or piping system.
