One of the main products coated at Brüning Flexible Finishes BV are O-Rings.
O-Rings are used in many industries and have different applications.
Typically, O-Rings (and its little brother, the X-Ring) are used as seals.
Think of water pipes, flue pipes and seals in your coffee maker or washing machine.
Although they are usually invisible, the structure cannot function properly/safely without O-Rings.
Coating O-Rings adds an extra feature.
These properties can be functional as well as visual.
Our coatings can have different purposes, the most common being:
- Mounting aid (anti stick/low friction)
- Visual (size recognition by color)
- Chemical resistance
- Longer lifespan
- Wear protection
- Noise reduction/prevention of quitsch noise by moving over each other
- FDA and drinking water approved coatings
- Application area marking (e.g. the yellow O Ring for gas, the blue for water)
Our coating of O-Rings is usually done in automated drum spraying machines.
At Brüning Flexible Finishes BV, we have 2 automatic drums that range in capacity from 5 liters to 75 liters.
This allows us to process orders from a few hundred O-Rings to orders of millions of O-Rings.
The choice of coating always depends on the ultimate function of the O-Ring.
A coating will be chosen in consultation with the customer.
