Plastic Pipe Seals
VIP-Polymers manufacture a wide range of seals for smooth wall and corrugated plastic pipes for both drinking and dirty water applications.
Twinwall Corrugated Pipe
Unlike with most other pipe materials, there is currently no international standard for defining the shape of the groove in Structured Wall Pipes (SWP). Over many years, we have built up a comprehensive catalogue of different sealing profiles and can now offer solutions off the shelf to suit most groove configurations. Where we don’t have a seal to fit, we can make one!
Why choose our Twin Wall pipe gaskets?
Sample Sealing Profiles for Corrugated Pipes
Stages in the SWP sealing process:
PVC Pressure pipe for potable water
We make seals to customers; specific requirements include locked-in seals incorporating our proprietary Viploc™ design. This features a locking ring which holds the seal in a groove within the pipe. The pipe is belled over the seal during production with no chance of the seal becoming dislodged during assembly.
Bonded Seal
At VIP-Polymers, we have developed a unique method for bonding elastomeric seals to thermoplastics. The result is a system that greatly facilitates the fitting of the seal to the pipe or connector.
Connector Seals
We provide a large standard range of connector seals for jointing SWP and other pipes to concrete pipes and manholes. If we don’t have the size you need, we can design and make it!
