Regular maintenance and inspection of wheel hub oil seals are essentialPTFE material is a perfect ingredient in making more reliable oil seals. These materials are used to make oil seals that can resist dry or unlubricated operations. PTFE oil seals, which are also called teflon oil seals, have a thermal strength ranging from -202 degrees Fahrenheit to 392 degrees Fahrenheit and an excellent chemical resistance. Oil seal PTFE is considered as the future of radial shaft seals.
Our suppliers try to provide the best quality oil seals and products are in some cases optimised to improve performance and fitment. Corteco is one of these brands, whose case studies we have listed for you.
In addition to standard oil gaskets, there are also specialized versions like copper oil gaskets, which offer superior heat resistance and durability, and composite materials for improved sealing in high-pressure applications. The choice of gasket depends on the make and model of the car, as well as the driving conditions it's subjected to. Innovations in material science continue to enhance the performance of small rubber gaskets. New formulations resist deterioration from oils, acids, and other harsh chemicals, while also offering improved flexibility in extreme temperatures. As industries evolve, so too must these humble components to meet new challenges.
