- A car thermostat gasket, though seemingly insignificant, plays a pivotal role in the overall functionality and efficiency of your vehicle's engine. This small but crucial component is the unsung hero in the intricate dance of automotive mechanics, ensuring optimal temperature control for your car's engine.

Oil Seal Materials

What are Oil Seals?
In addition to preventing oil leakage, the piston oil seal also helps to reduce friction between the piston and the cylinder wall. This is important for maximizing engine efficiency and prolonging the life of the engine components. By reducing friction, the seal helps to improve fuel economy and reduce wear and tear on the engine.

Summary
There is a British Standard laid down for the control of synthetic rubbers. BS 3574 (1989) helps to determine shelf life – for instance, Nitrile (NBR) and Polyacrylic (ACM) are Group ‘B’ rubbers and have a 7-year life, whilst Silicone (VMQ) and Fluoroelastomers (Viton®) are Group ‘C’ rubbers and have a 10-year shelf life. PTFE and Leather do not come into this category but like the others should be kept in the original packing for as long as possible away from direct light, dust, and humidity. Ozone, which can also be produced by battery-driven forklift trucks has a very bad effect on synthetic rubbers. Finally, protect the sealing lip – DO NOT hang the seals on nails, wire etc.

ERIKS also supplies the types GR and GRST. These are virtually identical to the types R and RST, except in this case the metal inner ring is also completely encased in rubber. ERIKS uses FKM rubber here as standard, so these seals are ideal for use in acidic environments.
