The sealing process involves the interaction between the rotating shaft and the elastomeric material, resulting in a dynamic barrier that prevents fluid leakage and maintains system integrity.
For bisphenol-cured VDF/HFP/TFE polymers, calcium hydroxide level should be low and magnesium oxide level should be high to promote adhesion to metal inserts. Thermal black or mineral fillers generally give good adhesion.3 For most adhesive systems, it is necessary to limit postcure temperatures to about 200°C (392°F).3
2. PRESSURE: Oil Seals cannot endure a lot of pressure. You need to understand your machinery’s pressure capabilities and ensure you use the correct seal to withstand its pressure levels.
