Nitrile Oil Seals - Nitrile oil seals, which is the commonly used term for acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber seals, is a very good general-purpose option due to the flexibility of use across a variety of components. The resistance is strong against fats, hot water, gasoline, mineral oils, grease and animal oils, making them the most often-used oil seals. They do not have a wide temperature range, making them a poor choice for machinery that can see extreme changes in temperature.

Oil seals are made from multiple compounds and materials. Some of the oldest, still in use today, are leather and felt compounds. The trend in mass production, however, has seen a move towards synthetic rubber or elastomers. Nitrile is by far the most popular material but developments in PTFE have created a surge of interest in buyers needing seals for high-speed shaft rotation applications. Viton is taking over from the polyacrylic and silicone, as it works better in high-temperature applications and has a high-resistance to abrasion and harmful chemicals.

4. Example of the applications of seals

A valve cover gasket set typically includes all the necessary gaskets and seals required for the valve cover assembly. This comprehensive set ensures that all critical sealing components are replaced simultaneously, preventing potential leaks and ensuring the proper functioning of the engine. The inclusion of high-quality rubber valve cover gaskets in the set provides a reliable and complete sealing solution for the valve cover assembly.
