Silcarb has expanded its advanced ceramics manufacturing capabilities with a new facility dedicated to producing high-performance silicon carbide pump seals. These seals are manufactured using Reaction Bonded Silicon Carbide (RBSiC) and Silicon Infiltrated Silicon Carbide (SiSiC), materials known for their exceptional hardness, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance.
Silicon carbide pump seals are widely used in industries that require reliable sealing solutions in high temperature, high pressure, and chemically aggressive environments.
Silcarb’s reaction bonded high density Silicon Carbide seal, with a mirror finish. Silcarb has installed a brand-new facility to manufacture pump seals. We manufacture and supply not only fully finished pump seals but we also supply blanks which can be machined by our customers.
Silicon carbide is one of the most advanced engineering ceramics used in mechanical seal applications. Its high hardness, low friction coefficient, and excellent chemical stability make it an ideal material for pump seals operating in demanding environments.
Key advantages of silicon carbide seals include:
These properties make silicon carbide pump seals suitable for critical industrial applications.
Reaction Bonded Silicon Carbide, also known as RBSC or SiSiC, is a high-density ceramic material widely used in mechanical seal applications. It offers an excellent combination of strength, hardness, and chemical resistance.
Typical properties include:
These characteristics make RBSiC ideal for use in pump seals exposed to harsh industrial environments.
Silcarb’s silicon carbide seals are manufactured with a precision mirror finish, ensuring optimal sealing performance and reduced friction between mating surfaces. Surface finish is a critical factor in mechanical seal performance, as it directly affects sealing efficiency and wear characteristics.
The high-quality finish helps achieve:
This level of precision is achieved through advanced grinding and finishing processes.
Silcarb offers flexibility to customers by supplying both fully finished mechanical seals and seal blanks.
Customers can choose between:
