Sealing of lip type seal is normally a result of an interference fit between the flexible sealing element, usually augmented by spring pressure and a shaft. Fluid retention is based on the precise amount of lip contact pressure. In most lip seals, increased fluid pressure in the sealed area causes lip contact pressure on the shaft to increase.

VMQ, also known as silicone, is also used for oil seals, but this is less common because the mechanical strength of VMQ is low and this material has poor wear-resistance This makes it less suitable for dynamic applications, but it can withstand fairly low and high temperatures from -60 °C to 200 °C. Many types of VMQ are also suitable for contact with pharmaceutical and food products, so VMQ is an option worth considering. VMQ oil seals are usually available on request.
High temperature rubber gaskets are essential components in various industries, including automotive, aerospace, and chemical processing. These gaskets are designed to withstand extreme temperatures, ranging from -40°C to 250°C, making them suitable for use in high-temperature environments. In this article, we will discuss the properties, types, and applications of high temperature rubber gaskets, as well as their advantages and disadvantages.
