To determine the most suitable seal for a specific application, the material choice is for certain one of the most importane issues and perhaps thhe most complex one, due to the variety of polmers currently avaliable on the market. Moreover, the material shall be accurately selected based on the binding requirements specified for the sealing systems.
Among them, the most importane are the following ones:
1.Chemical compatibility: contact seal material and fluid used and /or the operating environmrnt.
2.Friction&wear: it is essential to evaluate the seal kifr and performances.
3.Extrusion resistance: it is essential to evaluate the material suitbaility.
4.Information assembling: storing and handing methods. Essential to maintain the seal performance.
Checking the sealing system main features, that may impact on the seal matrerial, makes the material selection much easier and effective. Find below the brief overview of the polymers most commonly used for seal manufacuring.
