New benchmark for gasket design

Combating corrosion is an imperative focus in sourcing components for industrial settings. Oil, gas, power, manufacturing, and marine environments all have harsh effects on standard sealing solutions, which often leads to a shortened product life. When it comes to gaskets, traditional sealing materials such as graphite, mica, and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) exhibit poor corrosion resistance and fire safety.

Mid-market and enterprise manufacturers often operate multiple plants in more than one country. A planning and budgeting process that is supported only by Excel results in hundreds, if not thousands, of spreadsheets being sent back and forth. This results in lower accuracy, takes up valuable time, and is generally frustrating for every finance professional that must validate and consolidate the data. Read More
