Oxygen: Invisible, yet critically dangerous
Oxygen plays a vital role in countless industrial applications – from medical technology and aerospace to energy systems and chemical processing. Yet, what’s often overlooked: although oxygen itself is not flammable, it significantly accelerates combustion. When it comes into contact with contaminants like oils, greases or adhesives, the result can be highly volatile – even explosive.
To minimize risks in oxygen-carrying systems, we take a comprehensive and consistent approach – focusing on the right materials, smart product design and meticulous processes. That’s safety by design.
Tested materials
We exclusively use metallic materials recommended for use in oxygen environments. Each production batch is individually tested for suitability by the German Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing [BAM] – ensuring maximum safety and compliance.
Adhesive-free sealing technology
Our LE-Safe gaskets eliminate a critical ignition source: flammable adhesives. Designed specifically for use in oxygen-rich systems, these innovative, adhesive-free gaskets are highly temperature-resistant, durable and deliver reliable performance under demanding conditions – safety without compromise.
O₂ Clean Service
In our certified cleanroom facility, we provide professional cleaning for gaskets used in oxygen system components. All residues of oils, greases and solvents are thoroughly removed. Each gasket is inspected to meet the strictest safety standards. The result: The result: a safe, clean and ready-to-use solution – with minimized fire and explosion risk.
Whether you’re seeking advice or planning a new project, our specialists are here to support you – with in-depth knowledge, proven expertise, and tailored solutions that meet your specific requirements.
