- One of the primary advantages of platinum spark plugs is their ability to withstand high temperatures. This characteristic is particularly beneficial in high-performance engines that operate at higher loads and rpm levels. Unlike conventional spark plugs, which can become corroded or damaged at high temperatures, platinum spark plugs maintain their structural integrity and continue to function efficiently.
- 4. Automotive Industry These gaskets are commonly used in the automotive industry to provide a seal between engine components, transmission systems, and exhaust systems. Their heat resistance and chemical resistance make them suitable for use in high-performance vehicles.
In this blog, we attempt to highlight what are Oil Seals and the various Rotary Shaft Seals including Mechanical Face Seals, Water Pump Seals, Gland Packings, and V-Seals that are readily available.

Oil seals are available in an immense range of sizes, for shafts from a few millimetres to several metres. Once the shaft diameter, groove diameter (housing diameter) and groove width are known, selecting an appropriate oil seal is a simple task. An oil seal or its product description is usually associated with three dimensions, for example 6x15x4. These refer to the sizes of the hardware for which the oil seal is designed. In this example, this oil seal is suitable for: 6-mm shaft diameter x 15-mm groove diameter x 4-mm minimum groove width.

Oil seals can also be known as rotary shafts seals, shaft seals, lip seals, elastomeric seals, and more.
Leather Oil Seals - Leather Seals, also known as Type L Oil Seals, are most common in components that are subject to dirt and poor lubrication. Since they come pre-lubricated and are able to absorb fluids, leather oil seals are able to provide sealing properties in conditions that synthetic rubber is unable to.
Repeat the process of installing oil seals for any other locations where they are required. Be sure to follow the same steps for each installation to ensure a leak-free performance.
With the application cleaned and the components ready, you’ll begin your installation.
