RCF Technologies

RCF Technologies was founded in 1975 by Jack M. Kramer as RCF Seals and Couplings, with the intention of designing and selling seals, couplings, ducting and gaskets to the commercial aviation industry. Kramer was aware of a specific sealing problem on the Boeing 747 aircraft, and had developed a unique design to solve that problem. The success of t... he design was based on two major innovations: first, a new, proprietary silicone/fiberglass composite material and second, a patented seal design. By 1980 RCF seals were to be found on most major air carriers and had developed a reputation for good quality and for engineering problem-solving. RCF's name was changed in 1997 to RCF Technologies, Inc. to reflect the change in the types of parts the company supply. The company's niche now includes most high temperature applications (bleed air, APU, anti-icing, etc). Light weight metal couplings, clamps, isolation mounts, flexible connectors and sealant tapes have also been added. Insulation and electrically conductive parts are the latest developments in the company's arsenal of parts. RCF has marketed to numerous additional industries since 2009, including applications in the automotive (NASCAR), marine, petrochemical and industrial sectors. The problems of heat, weight and performance apply much as they do to aerospace, and the company's reception into this market has been rapid and exciting. As always, RCF is dedicated to maintaining its' unique position in industry through on-going development of state-of-the-art materials and products.Read More
