While Viton offers a superior temperature and chemical range than other materials, it can be more expensive than the others as well. Let’s take a look at an alternative that is easier on the wallet, Polyacrylate.
In our cutting edge technology centers in the Netherlands, the USA and the UK, we design and develop specific and custom-made rubber sealing parts for many industries.
Proper installation and maintenance of oil seals are essential to ensure optimal performance and longevity. Before installing a new oil seal, it is important to clean and inspect the shaft and seal housing for any damage or debris that could affect the sealing performance.
