Greene Tweed Highlights Custom Life Sciences Sealing Solutions

Greene Tweed has announced the winner of its first-ever Innovation Award, honoring Ferdinand Gonzaga, a Ph.D. in molecular and supramolecular chemistry and a scientist in the company’s Advanced Technology Group, which is responsible for developing new materials to perform in the most demanding industries and applications. The award was presented by Chairman Allon Bloch, CEO Magen Buterbaugh, and Kenneth Stanley, representing Greene Tweed family ownership, at a special event at Greene Tweed’s Kulpsville, Pa. plant.

Greene Tweed, a global manufacturer of high-performance sealing solutions and engineered components, proudly announces that Justine Franchina has joined Greene Tweed as Chief Operating Officer.

Matching the right elastomer to an application is key to ensuring an o-ring’s optimal performance and mitigating premature failure. One critical factor to consider is resistance to process fluids.

The key to new challenges is sometimes hidden in the past. Such is the case with equipment and processes needed to produce, store, and transport hydrogen. A major hurdle facing those looking to upgrade their equipment or design new equipment is: Lack of polymer materials capable of withstanding the extreme challenges inherent to the hydrogen environment.

If a sealing system in a plant fails prematurely or no longer functions properly, it is immediately checked whether the seal is defective or whether the sealing material could not withstand the temperature or pressure requirements of the application. Or whether the gasket is the correct size or whether the compression is correct.
