The Ultraseal Slough based Division of Surface Technology plc, recently announced the successful granting of BS EN ISO 9000:2000 and aerospace approval AS9100.

This follows the granting of the industry approvals for impregnation and pressure testing of aerospace and general engineering components, shown below.

The current approvals follow the acquisition of the assets related to the impregnation and pressure testing activity of Metalseal Limited and they include approvals from:

• Westland Helicopter
• Airbus UK
• Raytheon
• Honeywell
• Goodrich Actuation Systems
  

“These approvals ensure that we stay at the forefront of surface finishing and associated services. We at Slough are the first unit in the UK to be granted all necessary approvals required by aerospace customers in particular relating to impregnation processes”.

“As microporosity is a small defect with the potential to become a big problem, we perform pressure tests and subsequently apply our Ultraseal technology in order to eliminate future problems”.
