Recently added to the GAGNE line are sewn Bellows. This manufacturing process allows for the use of several different materials whose characteristics may be better suited for your particular application. Some examples of this are high heat resistance, applications where acid content is high, or where other agents may be present requiring special resistance characteristics. This process will also allow for the use of thicker materials for heavier duty applications.
