Trelleborg Launches Tran-SECURE Fluid Sealing Management Program

Summary

October 2022 - Trelleborg Sealing Solutions announces the launch of its Tran-SECURE Fluid Sealing Management Program.
 
Trelleborg’s Tran-SECURE Program provides the Americas’ chemical transportation market immediate availability of components critical to the maintenance and repair of railcars. Comprising high-performance engineered solutions, including manway and flat gaskets, O-Rings, and valve repair kits, the Tran-SECURE^TM Program is backed by Trelleborg’s global resources, local support, and unrivaled material research. Regardless of the commodity transported, customers receive the right seal for their tank car to maximize seal life and minimize maintenance and downtime.
 
Thijs Menzel, segment director, Chemical Transportation, Trelleborg Sealing Solutions, said: “When a tank car requires maintenance, it isn’t on the rails transporting chemicals and other commodities which means the equipment owner and shipper are losing money. To minimize costly downtime, it’s critical that high-quality seals, gaskets, and other valve repair components are available in the right materials for immediate shipment. Through the Tran-SECURE Program, we provide that peace of mind to our customers. All of our materials—many of which are proprietary formulations and compounds designed to be compatible with a broad range of even the most aggressive chemicals—are fully tested and proven to be compliant with industry regulations.”
 
Tran-SECURE Program customers are supported by a dedicated team of materials experts, sales engineers and customer success advocates focused solely on the chemical transportation market. Customers also enjoy 24/7 access to Tran-SECURE Fluid Sealing Management Program documents, material compatibility charts, training, and online ordering of in stock repair kits and components through the Chemical Transportation Seals-Shop. Seals-Shop users can easily search for products, access payment and order history information and track shipments.
 
Menzel said: “At Trelleborg Sealing Solutions, we have a long history of providing materials research, testing and development, as well as root cause failure analysis to support the chemical transportation market. And in 2020, we launched the Chemical Transportation Seals-Shop to provide the industry’s only comprehensive portal for convenient, 24/7 access to fleet management documentation and support materials, online ordering, and shipment tracking. Today, we’re bringing it all together under the umbrella of the Tran-SECURE™ Fluid Sealing Management Program and expanding our product offering to include a new line of flat gaskets and manway gaskets. Our ambition is to be the one-stop-shop supplier of choice to the Chemical Transportation market. The Tran-SECURE Program puts us in a great position to achieve that goal.”
