Aerospace Grade AGS1186-13 Bonded Seals for High-Performance Applications
AGS1186-13 bonded seals are aerospace-standard sealing washers designed to deliver reliable, leak-proof performance in high-pressure and high-reliability environments.
What Are AGS1186-13 Bonded Seals?
AGS1186-13 bonded seals are a specialised form of bonded washer designed for aerospace, defence and high-spec engineering applications.
They consist of:
- A precision metal outer washer
- A synthetic rubber sealing element bonded internally
When compressed, the elastomer creates a tight seal, preventing leakage even under extreme operating conditions.
