SA - One essential component of a vehicle's engine that often goes unnoticed is the spark plug. The spark plug plays a crucial role in igniting the air-fuel mixture in the engine's combustion chamber, which ultimately powers the vehicle. While most spark plugs are a standard silver color, there is a particular type known as the black spark plug that has been gaining popularity among car enthusiasts.
Finally, consider the size and shape of the gasket, as well as any specific design requirements that may impact the gasket's performance. Custom-made natural rubber gaskets can be designed to meet the unique needs of your application, ensuring a precise fit and optimal sealing performance.
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.
