Polyacrylate oil seals are a perfect compromise between quality and cost. They perform well with high temperatures and chemicals, but not as well as Viton oil seals. Polyacrylate has a temperature range of -25 degrees Fahrenheit to 300 degrees Fahrenheit. Due to their outstanding resistance to hot oil and oxidation, they are commonly used in automobile transmissions and hoses; however, they are also used for shaft seals, gaskets, and o-rings.

Type code

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.
