Equipment & Impregnation Sealant Suppliers To The Impregnation Industry

For end users we can supply direct with comprehensive on-line technical support, but we do not offer on-site technical support. If you feel you need the latter, we recommend you ask your current impregnation supplier to provide support and supply of Acrylic-120T. If your present supplier is unable to provide such support, we can put you in touch with an approved impregnation supplier.

Our primary business is a design authority. We do not open or run impregnation subcontract shops. We don't manufacture process plant. We use all our many years experience of the impregnation industry to design and create new process equipment, applications and process chemicals. Where materials are manufactured on our behalf, it is only by top quality suppliers who comply with international quality standards.

We can guide you to one of our plant engineering suppliers who will manufacture what you require from our drawings, or we can supply you with a licensed package for you to manufacture yourselves or put out to others for manufacture.

X-Seal Acrylic-120T

X-Seal Acrylic-120T is a thermal curing impregnant. Designed to be applied using vacuum impregnation equipment, as used by the global automotive industry for over 30 years in sealing automotive engine components. Acrylic-120T may also be applied using localised pressure or vacuum. Download a PDF document about Pressure Impregnation

– The Future for Casting Impregnation

Based on tried and tested casting impregnation expertise, X-Seal Acrylic-120T is a major step forward. Unlike previous traditional impregnants, Acrylic-120T can be recovered and re-used over and over again.

A Better Impregnant for Porosity Impregnation

Acrylic-120T is an exceptionally effective impregnant. Developed by the creator of the market-leading impregnants, it brings new levels of quality, effectiveness and consistency. This gives benefits in terms of process control and a consistently high standard of impregnation.

Sealant Recycling…

Although Acrylic-120T is a specially manufactured hybrid and three times the price of traditional impregnants, the upside is that overall the sealant costs work out to be as much as two thirds lower.

… Leads to Lower Cost Metal Sealing

Because around 90% of sealant washed off impregnated castings can be recovered and re-used, there are big sealant cost savings. It also saves money on trade effluent charges as well as a reduced delivery and storage overhead.

Consistently high standards of impregnation also means huge cost savings by avoiding reimpregnation.

More Environmentally Friendly Leak Sealing

Being able to re-use 90% of the sealant means less waste and pollution.

A well-managed process uses less power as well as producing better results.

Acrylic-120T's bio-degradable low risk formulation avoids the cost of managing the risks associated with less benign impregnants.

So How to Benefit?

The ideal is impregnation plant designed for use with recyclable impregnants, but it is possible to have your existing plant converted and modernised. X-Seal Ltd license designs of impregnation equipment to distributors who will assess your needs and help you switch to cheaper, better greener X-Seal Acrylic-120T.

What Will It Cost?

That's the beauty of it – it may not cost you anything at all! If you lease the impregnation plant (watch this space), the savings in impregnant costs will normally be significantly greater than the cost to lease the plant. And don't forget the cost saving from higher impregnation standards, less rework and reduced waste.

Better, Cheaper, Greener – It Has to Make Sense!

Background to Recycling Impregnants

Most traditional acrylic impregnants developed in the 1980/90s do not recycle, they were designed to emulsify in the wash water and then salted out and dumped as solid effluent.

It was then that Peter Young was developing the first recycle impregnant – Ultraseal (Guernsey) MX Sealant. It proved its sustainability over the last 20 years or so to go on recycling year after year without any loss of sealability.

The US MIL-17563C Impregnation Standard Test Ring was found to seal with just one impregnation with Acrylic-120T. Most traditional impregnants would fail this test - such is the quality of this recyclable sealant.

Its cycle performance is also impressive. Low molecular weight and fast reactivity gives it excellent fast penetration and rapid curing. Reliable and sustainable sealing can be achieved with as little as a 2 minute cycle for impregnation and cure.
