Oil seals are always exposed to a lot of chemicals, both mild and harsh chemicals. The seals react by showing some signs like cracks, blisters, and discoloration especially when the chemical is harsh. This clearly shows that the chemical is not compatible with the seal, which goes as far as affecting its cross-link density (increase or decrease). When the cross-link density increases, the seal material becomes harder, but when it decreases, the seal material becomes softer.

Silicone and rubber gaskets offer numerous advantages, including resistance to temperature extremes, chemicals, and environmental factors. Their flexibility and resilience allow for effective sealing in dynamic and challenging conditions. Additionally, these gaskets provide vibration dampening, noise reduction, and electrical insulation, making them valuable components in a wide range of industrial and commercial applications.

Oil leak: the most frequent failure of the oil seal

Choosing and using the proper sealing devices within oil and gas applications can be vital when preventing dirt, dust, water, and other debris from potentially getting inside and contaminating products.
