Thousands of Roxtec cable and pipe transits are used onboard Oasis of the Seas, the world’s largest cruise ship built at STX Europe in Finland.
Peace of mind in Caribbean waters
Roxtec seals are found everywhere from the engine room up to the bridge and the royal cabin balcony – and even in the central palm tree park fountain lighting! The sealing system protects against risks caused by water, fire, and smoke. It also reduces noise and material fatigue – and provides the ability to continuously upgrade.
Roxtec makes it possible for us to use plastic pipes wherever we want. We reduce the need for welding, balance overall weight and avoid corrosion issues.
Reasons for choosing Roxtec
- Sealing for increased safety
- Excellent tests and approvals
- Local service and support
- Built-in spare capacity
- Multidiameter™ by Roxtec – the seals are adaptable to different sizes of cables and pipes through sealing modules with removable layers
