HELICOFLEX® TEXEAL® Texturized Seal Concept and Overview

HELICOFLEX® TEXEAL® On-demand Webinar


On-demand Webinar: Technetics Group Introduces HELICOFLEX® TEXEAL®, Critical Sealing Technology

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.

HELICOFLEX® TEXEAL® Texturized Seal Concept and Overview

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.
