- The Pivotal Role of 20%, 30%, and 7% in Oil Seal Technology
- How to Replace a Valve Cover Gasket
Rotary shaft or oil seals are placed between moving and stationary pieces of machinery to ensure that contaminants, moisture, corrosive materials and abrasives do not damage the various components. They can also prevent unwanted mixing of fluids, including water and oil combining within a machine.
5. TYPES OF FLUID: Numerous oil seals can interact with oils, fuels, grease, water and more. However, know exactly what type of fluid the rotary shaft seal will be in contact with will ensure the longevity of the seal and the machinery.

What Are Oil Seals?
High mileage oil addresses specific weaknesses in your engine that are related to old age. It’s like a healing ointment for overused engine parts.

Polyacrylate is a great compromise between cost and quality. It has a high performing temperature and chemical range, but not to the extent of the range of Viton. The temperature ranges from 31°C to 148°C (-25°F to 300°F). Polyacrylate is primarily used in automotive transmissions and hoses but also found in shaft seals, gaskets and o-rings, due to offering a high resistance to hot oil and oxidation. While Polyacrylate is a great alternative to other high temperature resistant materials that are more expensive, it does have a poor water compatibility and cold flexibility. The best situation for Polyacrylate is an environment where heat and oil resistance but cost is the major issue. And while these 4 different materials cover a wide range of applications, there are even more materials out there designed for very specific niches in mind.
