In addition to its excellent temperature resistance, it is also resistant to ozone, light, and weather conditions. Silicone can be typically found in the food and medical industry as well as in hydraulics and pneumatics. It is often the preferred material for o-rings, moulded parts and flat seals but is also commonly used for electric insulators due to the material’s translucency and flexibility.

The outer skin is made of a more flexible material like nitrile rubber or other materials based on the physical environment of the seal. A spring on the lip of the seal supports the lip and keeps the lubricant from leaking. The lip construction is what blocks contaminants from outside.
Some disadvantages of NBR are poor ozone, sunlight and weather resistance as well as limited high temperature and flame resistance. For higher temperature resistance, a much better material to use is Silicone.
If the seal is being fitted to original equipment you may have some influence over the shaft and housing bore finish, but if you are replacing a worn seal you still need to take into account the condition of these 2 essential parts.
