Heat Sealing Applications

Environmental Sampling

Bags, groundwater sampling devices, and labware made with FEP, PFA,PVF, and Metalized foils have been Approved by the EPA to capture and store gas, soil, hazardous waste, and live specimen samples awaiting analysis.

Food Processing

High temperature films are used for cooking and packaging, while PTFE coatings have been used on cookware for decades.

Release

Thermoformed fluoropolymers are used for mold liners in “sticky” situations.

Wide Thermal Operating Range

Thermal operating range can extend from cryogenic storage systems of cord blood and tissue, to high temperature food processing and laser welding masks.

Bio-Pharmaceutical Processing

Custom Bags fabricated from high performance inert films replace large, bulky stainless bioreactors. Downtime and cross contamination between batches are reduced, because of their low cost, numerous systems can be set up simultaneously.

Chemical Processing

Many two part epoxies and other chemistries are stored, mixed, and cured in fluoropolymer bags, proving clean, easy, and cost effective solutions for the end users.

High performance materials are used to protect EPDM rubber in the chlor alkali marketplace, extending the lifespan of gaskets and reducing downtime.

Climate Change Simulation Chambers

As Global warming threatens our planet, more and more research facilities devoted to the study of climate change use simulation chambers (Sometimes known as smog chambers) heat sealed from FEP and PFA films to create a controlled environment in which to perform research. Engineers at Ingeniven designed the very first smog chamber used by Carneige Mellon University almost 20 years ago. Since that time they have helped dozens of researches from all over the globe design and produce simulation chambers ranging from small desktop enclosures to huge chambers that are a “walk in” laboratory.

Escape Hoods

Escape hoods heat sealed from high performance films are used by the military, first responders, pilots, passengers, and homeowners alike when evacuating a hazardous environment means the difference between life and death. We have over 20 years of experience in sealing high performance films for escape hoods.

Unique seal shapes can be produced. Please send us your project details for evaluation. We will be delighted to help you.
