- One of the key advantages of PTFE oil seals is their ability to withstand a wide range of operating conditions, including high temperatures, high pressures, and harsh chemicals. This makes them ideal for use in demanding environments where other types of seals may fail.
-30~140 Leather is probably the oldest of the lip materials still in common use, but the move towards mass production methods has seen a massive increase in the development of synthetic rubbers which lend themselves to accurate and repeatable injection and compression moulding. Nitrile (NBR) is still by far the most common elastomer for “normal” use, whilst Viton® (FKM/FPM) is rapidly replacing Polyacrylate (ACM) and Silicone (VMQ) for high-temperature applications. Viton® also has high resistance to abrasion and chemical attack making it a preferred elastomer. Recent developments in the use of PTFE for Rotary shaft seals has caused widespread interest particularly for high-speed shaft rotation or poor lubrication applications.
Although oil seals have been around for a while, choosing the right one still needs careful planning. If you are sure about the type of seal needed for your application or looking to replace your current seals with custom oil seals that meet your application requirements, then do not hesitate to contact the experts at SSP Seals – a leading industrial seal manufacturer in the USA. The company offers one of the most comprehensive selections of oil seals in the USA in a wide range of materials and profiles such as Type A Single Lip, Type ADL Double Lip, Type AO Single Lip, Type AODL Double Lip, Type B Single Lip Metal Case w/Spring, Type BDL Double Lip, and many more.

Does it mean the seal stops the leakage completely? Well, on the practical grounds yes because there is no ‘visible leakage’.
However, the new variant also comes with less good properties. Namely less flexibility and less resistance during assembly. Most damages therefore occur during the installation of PTFE oil seals.

Rubber oil seals have to perform in extreme conditions. Therefore, we accommodate all relevant conditions (mechanical and thermo-chemical phase) to maintain the integrity of the rubber oil seal in these circumstances.


The History and Applications of Oil Seals
In engine applications, square rubber gaskets are used to seal various components such as valve covers, oil pans, and intake manifolds. These gaskets help prevent oil and fuel leaks, ensuring the engine operates smoothly and efficiently.
