CLIENT BACKGROUND

No standard fabric could meet all three targets

Client Industry

Oil & gas, energy plants, and industrial fluid control

Product Application

Valve diaphragms (HNBR - Hydrogenated Nitrile Butadiene Rubber)

Core Requirement

The diaphragm's reinforcement fabric must simultaneously deliver high adhesion strength, high burst pressure resistance, and long-term fatigue performance - a combination no off-the-shelf fabric on the market could achieve.

THE CHALLENGE

Five failures-One connected problem

Improving a single property was not enough. The material system had to perform as a whole.

01

Poor Adhesion

Fabric-to-HNBR rubber adhesion insufficient

02

Delamination Under Pressure

Fabric-to-HNBR rubber adhesion insufficient

03

Below-Target Burst Strength

Diaphragm burst pressure failed to meet design specifications

04

Fatigue Degradation

Fatigue performance declined after long-term cyclic operation specifications

05

No Off-the-Shelf Solution

Existing standard fabrics could not meet the demanding application requirements

OUR SOLUTION

Material, structure and chemistry engineered together.
