2. Self-sealing fuel tank - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-sealing_fuel_tank

   Typical self-sealing tanks have layers of rubber and reinforcing fabric, one of vulcanized rubber and one of untreated natural rubber, which can absorb fuel when it comes into contact with it. When a fuel tank is punctured the fuel seeps into these layers, causing the untreated layer to swell, closing and thus sealing the puncture.

3. Self-healing material - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-healing_material

   Based on a variety of self-sealing and self-healing processes in plants, different functional principles were transferred into bio-inspired self-repairing materials. [ 9 ] [ 10 ] [ 11 ] The connecting link between the biological model and the technical application is an abstraction describing the underlying functional principle of the ...

4. Ethylene propylene rubber - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethylene_propylene_rubber

   EPM has a large number of uses due to the many ways in which the polymer can be designed, for example; it is used in automotive weather-stripping and seals, self-amalgamating tape, glass run channels, radiators, garden and appliance hoses, tubing, belts, roofing membranes, expansion joints, rubber mechanical goods, plastic impact modification, thermoplastic vulcanisates and motor oil additive ...

5. Self-amalgamating tape - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-amalgamating_tape

   Self-amalgamating tape is a non-tacky silicone rubber tape that when stretched and wrapped around cables, electrical joints, hoses, and pipes combines or unites itself into a strong, seamless, rubbery, waterproof, and electrically insulating layer. [1] [2] Unlike many other polymers and fibers, it is heat-, sunlight-, and weather-resistant.

6. Nitrile rubber - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrile_rubber

   This rubber is unusual in being resistant to oil, fuel, and other chemicals. NBR is used in the automotive and aeronautical industry to make fuel and oil handling hoses, seals, grommets, and self-sealing fuel tanks. It is also used in the food service, medical, and nuclear industries to make protective gloves.

7. FPT Industries - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FPT_Industries

   FPT Industries was formed in July 1939 as Fireproof Tanks Ltd (commonly known as FPT) [1] as a subsidiary of Airspeed Ltd at Portsmouth Airport in response to an Air Ministry requirement for the development and manufacture of self-sealing fuel tanks for the impending war with Germany.
