Available Fabrics

Use of fabrics greatly improves Pneuma-Seal’s ability to seal against high pressure differentials or exert clamping/actuating forces greater than normal. The fabrics becomean integral part of each Pneuma-Seal through a very unique molding process. The specific fabrics vary between profiles. Contact Pawling for details.

Nylon
A high tenacity yarn that is tough and abrasion-resistant. Nylon is the most common fabric used in our inflatable products, because it is strong and pliant thereby enabling our products to dynamically inflate and deflate. Nylon is a cost effective alternative to other fabrics.

Dacron® Brand Polyester
Dacron is another high tenacity, high modulus yarn used primarily when high flexibility is required. Dacron can be used with silicone and organic polymers and is especially effective in applications where heat > 250°F is present.

Nomex® Brand Aramid
Nomex is one step above Dacron in its ability to withstand temperatures and chemicals. Nomex is often used in conjunction with silicone as both materials are able to withstand temperatures >°250F.

Kevlar® Brand Aramid
Kevlar is the by far the strongest fabric Pawling uses. It is temperature-resistant, tough, and has a high modulus. Kevlar can only be used in larger cross sections due to its thickness and its cost needs to be weighed against the benefits provided.
