New tank sealing solution from Roxtec

Leading cable and pipe seal manufacturer Roxtec is launching a new tank boundary sealing solution for the maritime sector, after it was used for the first time in the refit of a British naval vessel.

The unique Roxtec TB seal has been created for tank boundary divisions and other high-pressure applications, following extensive R&D work by its technical team.

The innovative Roxtec TB seal is equipped with Multidiameter, the manufacturer’s invention for flexibility based on removable rubber layers. It has two halves with removable layers, making it adaptable to cables and pipes of different sizes.

It has been used for the first time during the installation of an ice load monitoring system onboard the Royal Navy’s only icebreaker, HMS Protector. It was the only sealing solution that was certified to meet the high requirements of Roxtec customer Kvasir Group when it came to both watertightness and gas tightness.

The new Roxtec TB seal has been tested for high pressure through a method the company has developed with classification society DNV.
