Pronal, a French company that produces flexible products made from elastomer and plastomer coated fabrics, is expanding its Australian presence through distributor, Air Springs Supply.

The Pronal product range includes inflatable pipeline stoppers, pneumatic jack cushions, heavy lift bags, storage tanks, and industrial process grippers, and are developed from over 60 years of producing pneumatic elastomer designs for demanding applications, including for food and beverage processing.

Air Springs Supply is the exclusive distributor for Pronal in Australia, and it has launched a new website with a wider range of Pronal products and information.

Pronal technology specialist for Air Springs Supply, Vinh Lam, said that performance, size, and compatibility specifications of the Pronal product range are included on the new website.

“Advantages of Pronal inflatable technology include simplicity, lightness, easy portability, and multiple re-use with the assured durability of one of the world’s most respected producers of elastomer products.

“Maintenance staff don’t need huge amounts of gear on-site to prepare and use the stoppers, tanks, and lifters. They are also easy to transport around plants and to remote locations, where they can be used, moved on, and used repeatedly. They are an ideal method to achieve compliance with statutory safety and environmental requirements in a cost-effective and efficient manner.”

The range can be viewed at and ordered online at pronal.com.au.
