Trelleborg Sealing Solutions recently marked the 50thanniversary of its Turcon® sealing material. From airplanes and spacecraft to prosthetics and wind turbines, Turcon has been used for a range of applications. The material is reportedly a part of—and has made possible—some of the most innovative engineering advancements in the last half-century.
Trelleborg has brought together customers such as Boeing and Eaton; former executives from Busak+Shamban and Trelleborg; and engineers, researchers, manufacturers, and others who have been involved with Turcon over the years for a multimedia retrospective. The celebration includes a website with photos, videos and first-person contributions from a variety of people in the industry. In addition, a commissioned, hand-painted mural showing Turcon’s impact over the decades will be unveiled.
