When choosing self-drilling screws, it's important to consider several factors
Fluoro natural rubber (FPM - FKM - Viton)
NBR, also known as nitrile rubber or nitrile, is the most popular material for an oil seal because of its good resistance to many oils and greases, such as mineral grease and hydraulic oil. Depending on their composition, synthetic oils and greases, such as those based on glycol, can damage NBR rubber materials. Depending on the amount of glycol, a PTFE lip seal may be the best choice. NBR is also unable to cope with contact with acids and solvents. The rubber is suitable for oil and grease at temperatures from -35 °C to 100 °C.
Nitrile Oil Seals - Nitrile oil seals, which is the commonly used term for acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber seals, is a very good general-purpose option due to the flexibility of use across a variety of components. The resistance is strong against fats, hot water, gasoline, mineral oils, grease and animal oils, making them the most often-used oil seals. They do not have a wide temperature range, making them a poor choice for machinery that can see extreme changes in temperature.
Sealing process
Automotive gaskets encompass a wide range of sealing components used in vehicles, including exhaust gaskets, intake manifold gaskets, and more. These gaskets are available in various materials, such as rubber, silicone, and metal, each offering specific properties suited for different applications. The selection of high-quality automotive gaskets is crucial for ensuring reliable sealing solutions that contribute to the overall performance and safety of the vehicle.
