Self-Cleaning Seals for Harsh Environments Webinar

When: Tue, 1/21/2025 at 2:00 PM (Eastern Time)

Join us for a webinar on NASA Kennedy Space Center’s Self-Cleaning Seals, designed for optimal performance in harsh, dusty environments. In space exploration, seals for hatches, airlocks, and spacesuits must maintain low leak rates to ensure crew safety, but dust accumulation can significantly degrade their performance. NASA’s self-cleaning seals use electrodynamic dust shielding technology to actively repel dust, preventing wear and tear while ensuring continuous efficiency. These seals can operate in both continuous and period cleaning modes. They offer vast potential for applications beyond space, including industries like material handling, mining, and pharmaceutical manufacturing.

Discover how NASA’s self-cleaning seals could transform systems in space and on Earth. There will be a chance to ask questions and engage with the inventor.
