Our industry specialism - quality improvement
Automotive engine block castings by nature have porosity issues that effect performance, quality and life expectancy. Porosity can cause leak paths which can develop between jackets and oil galleries. Ultraseal impregnation solutions manage to prevent oil spilling into water or water seeping into oil.
We offer a complete impregnation service. The ongoing commitment of Ultraseal to excellence in impregnation machine manufacture is complemented by the development of world-leading impregnation sealants. Impregnation can bring cost savings of 50% on raw castings and up to 90% on fully machined castings on a typical automotive engine block.
In order to meet the automotive industry's continual demand for high quality and technical performance, Ultraseal International offers three ranges of thermo curing sealant:- Conventional Sealants, Recycling Sealants and Sealants for Special Applications.

"Millions of new engine blocks are impregnated with Ultraseal sealants each year"
The global automotive industry is highly competitive with component product quality and costs high on manufacturers' agendas. Any casting which has to contain liquid or gas under pressure has the possibility to leak causing quality problems or failure in service.
Lean manufacturing techniques demand supply chain support from supply partners and Ultraseal's impregnation technology plays a key part in enhancing quality and reducing production costs for engine blocks, heads, fuel and water pumps, oil pans, crank cases, manifolds, braking systems, air conditioning compressors etc.
As the Automotive industry continues to relocate its manufacturing plants then manufacturers seek global suppliers that can support them in their production locations around the world.See all of our market sectors
