Oil seals are made from multiple compounds and materials. Some of the oldest, still in use today, are leather and felt compounds. The trend in mass production, however, has seen a move towards synthetic rubber or elastomers. Nitrile is by far the most popular material but developments in PTFE have created a surge of interest in buyers needing seals for high-speed shaft rotation applications. Viton is taking over from the polyacrylic and silicone, as it works better in high-temperature applications and has a high-resistance to abrasion and harmful chemicals.
With the help of tips and information from our suppliers, our specialists will be happy to explain how to install oil seals. Please read the instructions carefully before installation.
In these instances, Viton can be the perfect sealing material for methanol/ethanol-blended gasoline.
