Material selection is important to the life of a radial shaft seal. The elastomer’s resistance to temperature, abrasion, chemicals, weather, sunlight, and ozone can affect a profile’s longevity and performance. The two most prevalent materials are Nitrile and Viton. See our Oil Seal Materials page for details on compounds and chemical compatibility.
Regular inspection and maintenance of car engine head gaskets and automotive rubber gaskets are essential to identify signs of wear, damage, or leakage.
