Plugging airbag/Inflatable pipe plugs

Water plugging airbags are a type of expandable and contractible hollow rubber product with various shapes, made of fiber-reinforced rubber. When inflated with compressed air, they expand to the designed and practically applied dimensions and shapes, and can bear sufficient strength. After deflation, they shrink flexibly and can be folded or curled at will.
Featuring high elasticity, high temperature resistance, oil resistance, chemical resistance, expandability and air tightness, they are easy to use, economical and durable, and can be reused nearly a hundred times. They are widely used in culvert sewage drainage projects, tunnel shield sealing/water plugging, special molds for concrete pouring and forming of highway bridges, vehicle air springs, leakage mechanism research of major hazard sources and emergency sealing, hydraulic cylinder reset of accumulators, etc.
Our products were developed for industrial, agricultural and civil use after the successful development of long-life high-pressure water plugging airbags for deep-sea applications in the nuclear industry. The main material was once used for waterstops in large-scale water conservancy projects and high-pressure seamless rubber dam bags. It has won the Second Prize of Science and Technology Progress of Sinopec, the Second Prize of Science and Technology Progress of Liaoning Province (2009JBR-0496-2-1, 2009J-2-46-01), and the Dayu Award, etc. A number of Chinese invention patents have been obtained (ZL200710011640.2, ZL 2007 2 0012539.4, etc.).
