Several variables must be considered when selecting oil seals. The physical dimensions and materials will vary depending on the environment of use. In addition, oil seals must remain lightweight, compact, and exhibit high self-lubrication performance.

This is a specific type of synthetic rubber that’s commonly used in o-rings, gaskets, oil seals, sterile & chemical resistant gloves, and other molded items. Viton has a high density and it possesses the widest temperature range of -40 degrees Fahrenheit to more than 400 degrees Fahrenheit. This is why it’s highly preferred as the best material for higher temperature applications.

NBR is recommended for the majority of standard applications and is the most commonly used rubber (elastomer) material. This is because of Nitrile's compatibility with most environments as well as its relatively low cost. Generally nitrile is used for disposable non-latex gloves, footwear, automotive transmission belts, synthetic leather, hoses, o-rings, gaskets, oil seals, and more.
