Choosing the Right Oil Seals:

Bauerle and Bruhnke⁷ found that aeration reduces the effect of oil additives on fluoroelastomer properties. Some of their data is reproduced in Fig. 14.4,⁵ showing the effect of aeration of an SF-grade 5W30 oil on the retention of elongation of a VDF/HFP copolymer (FKM-E430), a VDF/HFP/TFE terpolymer (FKM-B600), and a VDF/PMVE/TFE fluoroelastomer (FKM-GFLT). The HFP-containing polymers show much better retention of properties with aeration.

Oil seals are found in a wide range of applications, in virtually every industrial sector. It is essential to select the correct oil seal so that the application in which it is used can run efficiently, free of leaks or other issues. In this blog, we explain which factors you should pay attention to when selecting the best oil seal for your application.
