New Product Information for the RuptureSeal

First Responders, Hazmat Teams and spill response professionals, for several years have had to deal with wooden bungs, putties, and other products that were rigged up or “Macgyvered” to stop leaks. There is now a new Patent Pending Technology that has been designed specifically to stop leaks.

The RuptureSeal™ is a handheld device that is inserted into the rupture and seals the leak in seconds! The RuptureSeal™ consists of a steel pin inserted into the tip of a nylon locking tie. The tie goes through a semispherical ball of specially formulated silicone that sits in a nylon cap. The locking mechanism is incorporated into the cap. At the other end of the tie is a “T” handle.

The RuptureSeal™ is an incredibly easy product to use, with one hand you flip the pin from the perpendicular position so that it is parallel to the tie, insert it into the rupture and with the other hand hold the plug into the rupture, with your free hand pull on the handle until the clicking stops. The silicone is compressed into the rupture and takes the shape of the rupture whether it is smooth or uneven.

The inventor of the RuptureSeal™ is a former Canadian Police Officer and Volunteer Firefighter who responded to a tanker accident leaking diesel fuel, the police or fire department had nothing to stop the leak. The department of environment arrived 1.5 hours later plugged it with putty and a piece of plywood that was propped in place with a shovel. 15 years later he realized that leak sealing technology had not advanced since this accident. He invented the RuptureSeal to meet the specific needs of the first responders.

The RuptureSeal™ has been sold in Canada since early 2012 and is now sold in the spill response industry in 33 countries around the world through global distribution. In February of 2013 it was introduced into the recreational marine market for sealing through hull ruptures in boats. The kits are sold in sets of three, a one inch, a two inch and a two by six inch for fork lift ruptures and tank gashes.

The response to The RuptureSeal™ in all markets has been overwhelming and has been proven over and over again to safely seal ruptures fast! To read The RuptureSeal™ story and see a video of how it works visit www.ruptureseal.com
