A global provider of pressure and gravity pipe sealing solutions recently aligned S&B Technical Products, serving water and wastewater markets, plus three sister businesses under the Hultec banner. The company relocated its corporate headquarters to Spring, Texas in 2024 and is opening a nearby manufacturing facility, warehouse and distribution center later this year. Hultec spotlighted its seal series for concrete pipe and precast drainage structures at the 2025 Precast Show in Indianapolis, led by:
Lambda. Company arrived at The Precast Show with this new grooved gasket, whose extruded profile—as shown in the schematic here—is designed to provide reliable sealing performance for non-confined grooves in concrete pipes. The optimized Lamba profile prevents seal dislodging during joint assembly, avoiding unnecessary pipe damage and making the installation process efficient and cost-effective. Available in 18×25, 21×30, 26×33 and 30×40 sizes.
O-rings. A proven concrete pipe and manhole seal solution for a vast number of joint configurations. The simple design makes installation easy and prevents the risk of installing the gasket incorrectly. Advanced production and quality controls assure accurate sizing, precision cuts, and high-strength splicing that are required to optimize product performance. The O-rings meet the requirements of ASTM C1619, Standard Specification for Elastomeric Seals for Joining Concrete Structures, Class A, plus ASTM C443, Standard Specification for Joints for Concrete Pipe and Manholes, Using Rubber Gaskets. Available in nine 0.6- to 1.375-in. diameter sizes.
Boomerang. A proprietary extruded profile that provides strong concrete pipe joint sealing performance. The Boomerang design simplifies and optimizes the installation process, thereby reducing time and cost associated with pipe assembly. Available in 18×25, 21×30, 26×33 and 30×40 sizes.
“Customers around the globe rely on our products to safely install critical infrastructure and protect the environment. Our core business strategy is to couple customer service with innovative material science to design and manufacture high quality gaskets and pipe sealing solutions,” says Hultec CEO Tom Ross. “The unified Hultec global brand creates clarity in the marketplace and positions us to grow and take advantage of many opportunities.” — Hultec, Spring, Texas, 817/923-3344; www.hultec.com
