Maritime & Shipping

In the maritime and shipping industry, maintenance work isn't just routine; it's critical for safety and operational efficiency. That's where BETRO-LOCK comes in — a sealant solution engineered to keep water and other elements exactly where they should be, out of the ship. Designed with precision, BETRO-LOCK plugs cater to the specific needs of maritime maintenance, from tightening deck drains and pipes to withstanding the pressures and challenges unique to the sea.

BETRO-LOCK in the marine realm

The challenges of the maritime environment are unlike any other. Exposure to harsh chemicals, extreme temperatures, and the relentless saline embrace of the sea demands a solution that can endure without faltering. BETRO-LOCK rises to the occasion with its ability to withstand lower differential pressures and its prioritization of safety — a characteristic that makes it the recommended stopper for vessels navigating the globe.

What sets BETRO-LOCK apart is the meticulous choice of materials: the top and bottom components are constructed from corrosion-resistant materials, including fiberglass-reinforced polyamide (PA6) and non-corrosive 316L stainless steel. This combination not only resists the punishing marine environment but also withstands oil exposures. Furthermore, the rubber sealing rings, made of durable nitrile and neoprene, ensure a lasting bond, extending the plug's life even under rigorous use.

Tailored sealing with BETRO-LOCK

Yet, BETRO-LOCK is not a one-size-fits-all solution; it's a tailored approach to sealing. With a variety of diameters available for both the bottom and top plates and equal diameter rubber bellows, BETRO-LOCK can delve deeper into maintenance challenges where standard solutions may not reach. Whether it's a snug fit in a narrow passage or securing a wide opening, BETRO-LOCK provides that custom fit that the maritime industry often necessitates.

In essence, BETRO-LOCK represents more than a tool; it's peace of mind for those who face the vastness of the sea daily. It's a testament to the commitment to excellence that the maritime and shipping industry upholds — a commitment that BETRO-LOCK not only shares but also embodies in every product crafted for the waves beyond the shore.

We used an adapted plug for ROV to seal pipes on the seabed in connection with cleaning. The plug fit perfectly. It stayed longer than planned, but with the quality and strength of these plugs it was no problem.
