Seal Materials

Important facts about seal materials "ELASTOMERS"

 
POLYURETHANE: We sell ROD and Tube  Available Sizes
Thermoplastic Elastomers features high resistance to abrasion, low compression, set, high rigidity and high tear strength.  While its main application is seal technology (lip seals, u-ring seals, wipers, vee packing, special seals), it may also be used for dampers and machined parts. 

Parts machined from this material can be used on commercially available hydraulic fluids and in water.
Durometer 95 Shore A, Temperature range -30 to 110 C

  

 

MSO Special POLYURETHANE : We sell ROD and Tube Available Sizes
Important technical plastic compound with very good mechanical properties, low water absorption and good chemical resistance.
Durometer 70 Shore D, Temperature range-50 to 100 C
 

NBR RUBBER: We sell ROD and Tube Available Sizes
An Elastomers based on acrylonitrile butadiene rubber which is used for u-cup seals.
Lip seal, vee packing, special sea's and various components. This material stands out with its high resistance to mineral oils and greases or HFA, HFB and HFC pressure fluids. Furthermore, NBR has excellent mechanical properties such as abrasion resistance and elasticity.
Durometer 85 +/- 5  Shore A, Temperature range -30 to 100 C
 

HNBR RUBBER: We sell ROD and Tube Available Sizes
An Elastomers based on hydrogenated acrylonitrile butadiene rubber. This material is suitable for applications involving aliphatic hydrocarbons such as fuel , propane and butane; mineral oils and greases, vegetable and animal fat or oil. It also can be used in many diluted acids, alkalis and salt solutions, as well as in glycol water mixtures.
Durometer 85 +/- 5 Shore A, Temperature range -35 to 150 C
 

 
SILICONE RUBBER: We sell ROD and Tube Available Sizes
An Elastomers based on vinyl polysilozane rubber for o-rings, gaskets and special seals.  Its main application is for static seals. Silicon is highly resistant to hot air, weathering , ozone and aging.  The mechanical properties are notably lower than those of the other rubber materials.
Durometer 85 +/- 5Shore A , Temperature range -60 to 200 C
 

 
EPDM RUBBER: We sell ROD and Tube Available Sizes
An Elastomers based on ethylene propylene rubber which is used for u-cup seals, lip seals, vee packing and special seals exposed to hot water, steam and Alkalis. It is not resistant to mineral oil based hydraulic fluids. It Is also compatible with brake fluid. Durometer 87 +/- 5 Shore A , Temperature range -50 to 130 C
 

 
FLUOROCARBON - Viton®: We sell ROD and Tube Available Sizes
An Elastomers based on fluorine rubber. It is used for u-cup seals, lip seals, vee packing, wipers and special seals. Its outstanding properties are its high resistance to heat, chemicals, weathering and ozone; resists mineral oils and greases containing sulfur and highly inflammable HFD fluids.
Durometer 85 +/- 5 Shore A , Temperature range -20 to 200 C
 

MDX NYLON GRAY: We sell ROD and Tube Available Sizes

Used for anti extrusion rings, guide ring bushes, scrapers and other high precision
rotating parts. It has very good mechanical properties, low water absorption and good chemical resistance.
We also have available:
NYLOIL (BLACK)
NATURAL NYLON
UHMW
HYTREL4506
Low modulus extrusion grade Elastomers contains color-stable antioxidants. Excellent low temperature properties. Excellent flex-fatigue resistance. Excellent creep resistance.
Durometer 40 Shore D
 

HYTREL 5555HS: We sell ROD and Tube Available Sizes
Heat stabilized grade of Hytrel contains a discoloring antioxidant. It combines the best balance of properties of the product line.
Durometer 55 Shore D
 

PTFE VIRGIN Teflon®: We sell ROD and Tube Available Sizes
It is polytetraflonroethylene, which is used for backing rings, vee packing, o-rings, rotary seals arid gaskets. PTFE Virgin is a material with the widest technical range of applications.
Only molten alkali metals and gaseous fluorine will attack PTFE at high temperatures and pressure. Creeping is observed at relatively low loads.
Temperature range -200 to 260 C
 

PTFE NICKEL Teflon®: We sell ROD and Tube Available Sizes
It is polytetralluoroithylene with metallic fillers, which is used for low friction seals, thrust collars and bearing rings for chevron packing and guide rings. As a result of the special fillers this material achieves high firmness values at low creep when compared to pure PTFE.  Almost unlimited chemical resistance as above.
Durometer 68 Shore D, Temperature range -200 to 260 C
We also have available the following blends of Teflon®:
10% CARBON 10% GLASS
10% EKONAL
10% GRAPHITE
