The Original Self-Lubricating Silicone Door Seal
Six years in development, TYM pioneered a self-exuding oil silicone rubber (SLIK-Seal) that revolutionises the autoclave and door seal industry.
Using decades of knowledge and expertise our TYM engineers have eliminated the need for graphiting, producing an autoclave door seal of superior performance.
With SLIK-Seal you get no shrinkage, no forming and superior heat vulcanised joins.
