Seal Material Specifications

   
     

 

NBR Rubber 85°a Black (Nitrile or Buna N)
Material Code: NBR

• Maximum service temperature: 210°F
Used by itself or in combination with our other outstanding polymers, NBR is ideally suited for the manufacture of all sealing components used in the hydraulic and pneumatic industry.

HNBR Rubber 85°a Black (Hydrogenated Nitrile)
Material Code: HNBR

• Maximum service temperature: 302°F
Similar to NBR, HNBR provides broader thermal and chemical resistance.

EPDM Rubber 85°a Black (EPM, EPR)
Material Code: EPDM

• Maximum service temperature: 300°F
Incompatible with mineral oils, EPDM is resistant to many fluids that are incompatible with other elastomers, including steam and brake fluid.

Viton® Rubber 85°a Brown (Fluorocarbon, FKM, FPM)
Material Code: R85V

• Maximum service temperature:392°F
Viton's® outstanding chemical compatibility, low compression set and broad temperature range, coupled with its ability to resist extrusion, tearing and wear, makes this a significant compound, utilised to produce premium performance seals.

Silicone Rubber 85°a FDA Red
Material Code: SIL

• Maximum service temperature: 392°F
SIL has many uses in the chemical industry and is FDA approved for use in the food industry. Silicones have poor wear, tear and tensile properties.

Polyurethane 95°a Red
Material Code: HPU

• Maximum service temperature: 230°F
• Maximum service temperature in water: 70°C
The most popular grade of polyurethane, used to produce single acting seals, rod wipers and heavy duty double acting seals. Formulated for low compression set and superior resistance to abrasion and tearing.

Polyurethane 95°a Lubed Grey
Material Code: MOLY PU

• Maximum service temperature in mineral oil: 105°C
Uniquely internally lubricated with molybdenum disulphide to alleviate the anomally known as stick/slip associated with friction.

PTFE Molybdenum Disulphide & Glass Filled Grey
Material Code: TFG

• Maximum service temperature: 500°F
Compounded specifically for hydraulic seal applications, the fillers enhance TFG's ability to resist "cold flow" and wear. This blend is extremely popular with OEM manufacturers. Used to manufacture energised wipers, backup rings, single and double acting seals.

PTFE Glass Filled White
Material Code: TFG

• Maximum service temperature: 500°F
An extremely wear resistant material makes it suitable for all applications except rotary. Used widely in the US by many OEM manufacturers.

PTFE Bronse Filled
Material Code: TFB

• Maximum service temperature: 500°F
Possibly the most versatile filled PTFE, possessing high performance whilst being less abrasive on mating surfaces than many other filled PTFE materials.

PTFE Nickel Filled
Material Code: TFN

• Maximum service temperature: 500°F
The ultimate PTFE blend for the most arduous applications. No other material offers the chemical, thermal and mechanical properties that this compound exhibits in severe applications.

PTFE Virgin White (Teflon, Polytetrafluoroethylene)
Material Code: TFV

•Maximum service temperature: 500°F
Outstanding chemical resistance and the lowest friction coefficient of any material ensures that TFV is an indispensable material in many applications.

Delrin White (POM)
Material Code: DW

• Maximum service temperature of 130°C
Excellent dimensional properties and its low moisture absorption makes Delrin the material for hard, high precision parts. Suitable for wear wings and anti-extrusion devices. Reccomended for use in water!
