At General Sealants, Inc., innovation isn’t just what we do; it’s what we enable. For decades, we’ve partnered with universities and student-led engineering teams worldwide, providing the materials and expertise that help transform classroom theory into real-world performance.
Empowering Future Engineers
From Michigan to Graz, from Barcelona to Toronto, our support reaches across continents. Each year, we donate specialized vacuum bag sealant tapes, such as our GS# AT-200Y, to teams building advanced composite structures for Formula SAE, Formula Student, and solar racing competitions.
These products play a critical role in manufacturing carbon fiber monocoques, aerodynamic packages, and other high-performance components.
Global Partnerships, Local Impact
Recent collaborations include:
- Joanneum Racing Graz (Austria) Formula Student Electric champions, leveraging GS sealants for monocoque curing and aero parts.
- University of Michigan Solar Car Team Finished 7th globally at the World Solar Challenge, using GS tapes for composite layups.
- Lawrence Technological University (USA) Formula SAE Combustion Team, supported with sealant solutions for chassis and aero builds.
- Einstein Motorsport (Germany) Achieved 1st place overall in France, thanks in part to GS-backed composite manufacturing.
- BCN eMotorsport (Spain), McMaster University (Canada), Purdue, Texas A&M, Penn State, Waterloo, Pittsburgh, and more: All benefiting from GS’s technical support and product donations.
Why It Matters
These partnerships do more than build race cars; they build careers. Students gain hands-on experience with advanced materials and processes, preparing them for roles in aerospace, automotive, renewable energy, and beyond.
For us, it’s about investing in the next generation of innovators who will shape the future of engineering.
