- However, rubber gaskets do have their limitations. They can be prone to (aging) and degradation when exposed to extreme temperatures, UV radiation, or certain chemicals. To address these issues, manufacturers often use additives or coatings to enhance the durability and performance of rubber gaskets.

When choosing silicone and rubber gaskets, it is important to consider the specific requirements of the application, including temperature range, chemical exposure, and sealing pressure. High-quality gaskets should be selected based on their material composition, durability, and compatibility with the intended use. Working with reputable suppliers and manufacturers ensures access to reliable silicone and rubber gaskets that meet industry standards and performance requirements.

The rubber material used in the oil seal should be selected based on the operational temperature and substance to be sealed.
Table 5 lists the major rubber materials along with their operational temperature ranges.
Note that it is necessary to check the compatibility with fluids.
<N.B.>
Extreme pressure additives are compounds added to the lubricant. They are activated by heat and chemically react against rubber, which deteriorates rubber properties. For this reason, it is necessary to check for compatibility with rubber materials.
1. Pressure: Many oil seals are used in high-pressure applications, so understanding the working pressure of your components is very important.
