In 1969, a significant collaboration between Technetics and the CEA took root, leading to the creation of the Helicoflex® seal. Originally tailored for the EURODIF Uranium enrichment plant, this seal’s versatility and effectiveness underpin its adoption across various critical sectors. Central to their ongoing collaborative efforts is the Maestral laboratory in Pierrelatte, Drôme. This joint […]

The market for sealing solutions is a demanding one, but Technetics Group emerges as a global leader, with over a century of invaluable experience making it a trusted partner in the industry. Their unique solutions, grounded in extensive knowledge and innovative practices, push the boundaries in discovering improved results. The company also harnesses science […]

Many are concerned about the recent German energy crisis’s effects on the economy, private households, and the wider European power grid. This shortage has been caused by several factors, including the closure of several nuclear power plants. As one of the remaining nuclear power plants, Preussen Elektra’s ISAR 2 was facing shortage of reactor pressure […]

Doosan, the largest supplier of nuclear power plant components, chose Technetics as their partner for upgrading Doosan enerbility. In the upgrade, Doosan required a new O-Ring solution. The O-Ring must operate efficiently within a high-pressure, high-temperature, radioactive environment. Doosan identified Technetics reactor pressure vessel O-Ring as the best solution for this application.
