Sealing solution to reduce fugitive emissions
Reduce fugitive emissions to improve the safety, compliance and performance of your facilities
Control your fugitive emissions with high-performance sealing solutions
Fugitive emissions are a major issue for industrial sites. Whether they involve gases, vapours or hazardous fluids, they can have significant consequences for operator safety, plant performance, operating costs and regulatory compliance.
For more than 100 years, GROUPE LATTY has supported industrial operators in addressing their sealing challenges by developing reliable, durable solutions suited to the most demanding operating conditions. Thanks to its technical expertise, test laboratory and custom development capabilities, LATTY helps deliver lasting leak reduction and improve equipment performance.

Solutions tailored to the most demanding applications
Each industrial facility has specific constraints related to fluids, temperatures, pressures or operating conditions. A high-performance sealing solution must ensure a low leak rate while maintaining long-term equipment reliability.
LATTY teams support operators from the needs analysis stage in order to recommend the most suitable technology: sealing packings, industrial gaskets, mechanical seals or custom-developed solutions.
Products are designed using high-performance materials selected for their chemical resistance, mechanical strength and stability in the most demanding environments. Before being placed on the market, they are validated in our in-house laboratory through numerous tests replicating real operating conditions.
This approach makes it possible to deliver lasting reductions in fugitive emissions, secure facilities and reduce costs associated with fluid losses and maintenance interventions.
Key levers to achieve lasting reductions in fugitive emissions
To effectively reduce fugitive emissions, industrial operators rely on a combination of high-performance equipment, suitable sealing solutions and rigorous preventive maintenance.
So-called “low emission” valve technologies incorporate low-emission packing glands, bellows-sealed valve stems (bellows seal) that eliminate the main dynamic leak point, as well as valves certified to recognised standards such as ISO 15848.
In parallel, the use of high-performance gaskets in filled PTFE or expanded graphite, optimisation of packing gland tightening systems, and the selection of flange gaskets suited to thermal and chemical constraints provide lasting improvements in plant sealing performance.
Finally, controlling fugitive emissions also relies on a proactive maintenance strategy that includes leak detection and repair (LDAR) programmes, regular checks using infrared cameras or volatile organic compound (VOC) detectors, preventive adjustment of packing glands, and scheduled replacement of wear components.
Approvals and compliance
LATTY sealing solutions are developed to meet the requirements of the most highly regulated industrial environments. Depending on the application, they may comply with various standards and certifications that guarantee their ability to limit emissions, their compatibility with fluids, or their use in specific sectors.
Our teams will support you in selecting the solution that meets your regulatory constraints and performance requirements.
