Many metal parts which are designed to be pressure-tight, leak in spite of correct design, alloy specifications, and proper production procedures. When this occurs, it costs you in both time and money, especially after machining work has been done.<\/p>\n
Very often the cause of this leakages is porosity in the part itself. Frequently these otherwise good parts can be saved using the impregnation process. Pressure vacuum, steam, liquids and gasses can often find their way through the porous walls of castings, or through weldments and other porous areas of the part causing loss of effectiveness.<\/p>\n
WESTERN SEALANT’S impregnation process:<\/p>\n
The impregnation process can effectively\u00a0seal the pores of the part,\u00a0saving you both the time and the money of having to reject an otherwise good part, or to make a replacement part. We can impregnate many types of parts large or small, before or after machining operations have been done. Our impregnates are invisible on the finished part and do not affect\u00a0\u00a0the part’s dimensions in any way.\u00a0Plating and paint processes are routinely done after our process without any adverse affects. It improves the surface’s finish in most cases.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
