Inflatable seals can solve very difficult sealing problems or may be a cost effective alternative when compared to mechanical devices, such as air cylinders or cam locks. Inflatables are particularly well suited for use as:

• Inflatable seals for horizontal or vertical sliding doors.
• Hinged door inflatable seals for flush threshold openings.
• Inflatable seals for large doors where tolerances are too large for traditional compression seals.
• Seals that inflate for applications where rapid sealing and unsealing are imperative.
