Precision Polymer Engineering (PPE) is a specialist elastomer seals manufacturer with over 30 years experience in the design and manufacture of pump seals. Based in Blackburn, Lancashire, and with offices in Aberdeen, United States, France, Germany, and Asia, the company is a truly global business with over 80% of sales from outside the UK.

PPE offers over 300 grades of elastomer for pump manufacturers and users. These range from ultra high / low temperature elastomers to extremely chemically resistant fluoroelastomers and perfluoroelastomers, plus standard HNBR and nitriles. Many grades are compliant with FDA, USP Class VI and 3-A sanitary standard, in addition to explosive decompression resistant grades.

PPE seals are used in pumps in a broad range of industries including food, pharmaceutical, chemical and semiconductor manufacture, marine and oil and gas exploration and processing, for example.

PPE”s web site www.prepol.com offers a rich, on-line, resource for pump manufacturers, including chemical compatibility information and literature downloads, together with interactive tools for elastomer material selection and O-ring groove calculation.

Excellence in materials technology is at the core of PPE”s service to pump manufacturers. This allows PPE to offer an intelligence-led approach to pump seal design and supply. The purpose-built Materials Characterisation Centre (MCC) includes a state-of-the-art laboratory and development cell and offers a comprehensive range of services for the testing and analysis of polymeric materials.

Pump manufacturers are invited to attend one of the professional development training courses conducted by PPE, designed to increase delegate’s awareness of the important aspects of elastomer sealing technology. Events are held at PPE”s training centre in Blackburn and Aberdeen, and at delegates” own business premises (subject to a minimum group size).
