What LINK-SEAL® Vedante Modular does

SVT Importação Comércio e Serviços operates commercially as LINK-SEAL® Vedante Modular (also branded LINK-SEAL® Brasil) and is the exclusive Brazilian distributor for the LINK-SEAL® modular sealing system manufactured by Garlock Sealing Technologies (GPT Industries). The core product is a modular mechanical seal composed of interlocking rubber elastomer links, steel bolts, washers and pressure plates that are assembled around a pipe penetration through a wall, floor, ceiling or tank to create a watertight, gas-tight or fire-rated barrier; elastomer options (EPDM, Nitrile, Silicone) allow the same platform to serve different chemical and temperature exposures. LINK-SEAL® has been manufactured in the United States and Germany since 1970 and is deployed in more than 70 countries.

SVT's business model is project-based, quote-driven distribution: customers (typically utilities, EPC contractors, industrial operators and construction firms) request sizing and quotation support, and SVT provides engineering assistance, supplies the modular seal kits and delivers across Brazil. The company is headquartered in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, operates with approximately five employees, and has been the Brazilian channel since 1998. Its commercial tooling includes a web-based technical sizing calculator, a project/case-study portfolio and a WhatsApp sales channel alongside traditional phone and email.

The customer base is concentrated in Brazilian water and sanitation utilities (including CEDAE, Embasa, Casan, Sanepar, Copasa, Saneamento Marabá and Saneamento Nova Serrana) and extends into industrial process and oil & gas (including Raízen). Pricing is quote-based and tied to project specification rather than a published catalog, consistent with a low-volume, high-touch industrial specialty distribution business.

Core offering

SVT Importação Comércio e Serviços distributes the LINK-SEAL® modular mechanical sealing system in Brazil as the exclusive authorized distributor since 1998. The product seals pipe penetrations through concrete and steel walls using interlocking rubber links that compress when bolts are tightened, replacing grout, mortar, and resin methods. Available in three elastomer variants — EPDM for water/sewage, Nitrile for oils/fuels, and Silicone for high-temperature/firestop applications.

Product overview

LINK-SEAL® is a modular sealing system composed of rubber gaskets, nuts, and washers that compress to create watertight seals for pipe penetrations through concrete and steel structures. The product portfolio consists of three core rubber compound variants: the Standard EPDM model (black) for water and sewage applications, the Oil-Resistant Nitrile model (green) for fuels and hydrocarbons, and the High-Temperature Silicone model (gray) for firestop protection. LINK-SEAL is manufactured in the USA and Germany since 1970, distributed exclusively in Brazil by SVT Importação since 1998, and is supported by an online technical calculator tool for proper sizing. The system replaces traditional methods like grout, mortar, or resins with a 100% sealed solution that installs in approximately 15 minutes without curing time.
