Discover the RuptureSeal’s quick and effective rupture break solution

Rapid Sealing of leaks at a storage terminal facility can be the difference between a major incident costing millions, and a minor bump in the road. A fast response is crucial to reduce environmental impact, cost of cleanup and reputational damage.

The RuptureSeal is an advanced solution to seal ruptures, leaks, and punctures in various containers. Engineered for quick deployment, the RuptureSeal is perfect for emergency scenarios involving fuel tanks, chemical tanks, and other vessels that require immediate leak containment.

The RuptureSeal is straightforward and user-friendly, needing no specialist training. With one hand, flip the pin from the perpendicular to the parallel position, insert it into the rupture, hold the plug and with your free hand, pull on the handle until the clicking stops. The silicone compresses into the rupture, conforming to its shape. This immediately creates a mechanical seal, effectively plugging rough, unclean, or splintered surfaces. It is an ideal solution for controlling water leaks, fuel and chemical spills.

Versatile Capabilities

In emergency spill situations, quick deployment and the ability to handle diverse chemical and fuel compounds are key. The RuptureSeal can manage over 100,000 different chemical and fuel compounds. This makes it a versatile option when preparing for every potential emergency situation.

The flexibility of RuptureSeal means the product can handle punctures from 4mm to 150mm. For larger ruptures, gang multiple units together. The ability to handle a range of leak sizes makes the RuptureSeal an ideal product in an emergency.

The RuptureSeal has already been integrated into spill response kits by major companies and organisations, including Armour Transport, Atlantic Pacific Trucking, Transocean, CN and CP Rail, multiple provincial and state Departments of Environment, and over 600 fire departments worldwide.

Compliance & Cleanup

All RuptureSeal products comply with California’s Proposition 65 regulations, ensuring they are free from cancer-causing agents or substances, and do not require warning labels.

After a spill is contained, cleanup is straightforward. Cut away and discard the RuptureSeal. There is no chiseling or specialist tools required, saving money and valuable time.
