Technical Polymer Tube Plugs for Heat Exchangers
IMS PLUGS polymer tube plugs provide excellent chemical compatibility and fast, safe installation for the isolation of heat-exchanger tubes.
They are an ideal solution for sensitive operating environments, enabling efficient maintenance interventions without risk of corrosion or mechanical damage to the tubes. Optimize your maintenance operations while ensuring long-term protection of your equipment.
High-Performance Polymer Tube Plugs
High-performance polymer tube plugs are engineered to deliver:
- An optimal chemical resistance
- A good thermal stability and secure
- A rapid installation in heat exchangers, condensers and tube bundles.
Manufactured from glass-reinforced high-performance polymers (such as Ultem® 2300) or other advanced technical materials combining expandable silicone elements and non-metallic components, these plugs ensure reliable leak-tight sealing without any risk of galvanic corrosion. This represents a key advantage where conventional metallic plugs are not suitable or where electrochemical interaction with the tube or tubesheet must be avoided.
Installation and applications
Thanks to their non-damaging design, polymer tube plugs can be installed and removed easily without impairing tube integrity or tubesheet surfaces, resulting in:
- reduced downtime
- lower maintenance costs
Designed for low-pressure applications and moderate operating temperatures, these polymer plugs provide an effective solution for the temporary or permanent sealing of defective tubes across a wide range of industrial installations.
Supply & installation by specialized teams
In addition to the sale and supply of sealing plugs, IMS PLUGS can deploy dedicated teams of specialized technicians for on-site plugs installation.
Our teams are fully mobile throughout Europe and have strong field experience, with several hundred plugs installed each year in demanding industrial environments.
