The semiconductor industry has seen an explosion since the COVID-19 pandemic began. There is a dramatic demand in the semiconductor chip market. The industry is seeing significant changes in infrastructure.
Technology advances continue to snowball, and it doesn’t appear progress will slow anytime soon.
1. Semiconductors are shrinking in size.
2. Gaming and cell phone improvements contribute to manufacturing changes.
3. Manufacturing companies are outsourcing cleaning services.
Learn why static seals play such a vital role in critical applications, including the space industry. Our Technetics engineers work directly with our customers to create the ideal sealing solution.
Key Takeaways:
Learn about the basics of metal seals and their importance in this training presented by, Technetics Group Design Engineers, Michael Shealy, and Steven Henning, as well as Senior Project Engineer, Jason Adams.
The HELICOFLEX® TEXEAL® texturized seal is a low-load metal seal which allows for the optimization of assemblies at the design phase. It offers uncomplicated installation while achieving a superior sealing level and maintaining performance over time with possibilities of reuse.
A product of the technical collaboration of Technetics Group and the French Atomic Energy Commission (CEA), this innovation allows us to address issues that other metallic solutions couldn’t solve.

Technetics Group was the first to create the texturized seal concept with the goal of addressing issues with a metallic solution. Texturization has made many advances in the last few years and is now worldly applied thanks to Technetics’ innovation.
The process is simple, fast and reliable. Once the HELICOFLEX® TEXEAL® was designed, there was a series of tests conducted including varying pressures, nuclear conditions, temperatures and more. The HELICOFLEX® TEXEAL® concept allows for the highest seal performance due to its unique design, metallic properties, and rigorous testing.
The HELICOFLEX® seal is a high performance, flexible metal seal that has exceptional compression and elastic recovery properties. This seal is composed of a close wound helical spring surrounded by one or more metal jackets. The spring is designed to have a specific compression resistance. During compression, the resulting specific pressure forces the jacket to yield and fill the flange imperfections while ensuring positive contact with the flange sealing faces. Each coil of the helical spring acts independently and allows the seal to conform to surface irregularities on the flange surface.
HELICOFLEX® design flexibility allows Technetics engineers to customize the seal characteristics to match each unique application.
Increase the overall sealing performance for your installations with TEXEAL®, the new patented texturing process, applied to HELICOFLEX®, already the resilient metal seal standard for high-performance sealing.
HELICOFLEX® TEXEAL® can help reduce operating costs during maintenance. It is a material innovation developed from decades of established sealing expertise.
