Oil seals are commonly used in driveshafts, crankshafts and hydraulic cylinders where a rotating shaft is lubricated by oil or grease. The seal works like a cap, covering the clearance between the shaft and housing, stopping fluids from leaking whilst preventing containments from entering the chamber. If you are replacing a worn part because you have identified a leak, refer to your machinery handbook to find the type of oil seal you require. Whilst this is not always possible there are a few guidelines to help you get the right seal for the job.

Silicone is a synthetic elastomer which provides unique physical properties in compassion to carbon-based rubber materials. It is the preferred choice in the food, beverage and medical industries due to its low toxicity, thermal stability and resistance to micro-bacterial growth. Some grades of silicone rubber can remain flexible down to temperatures as low as -100°C and as high as 315°C.
The Polymax silicone product range includes solid sheeting, sponge or foam sheeting, cord, sponge strips, O-rings, tubing, hoses and edging strips. We also provide a large collection of Momentive primers and adhesives.
Rubber adhesives are flexible, high-strength bonding agents. Rubber adhesives include acrylonitrile, styrene, natural rubber, neoprene, and polyurethane, among others. Rubber-derived contact adhesives may be used with various surfaces like glass, metal, and natural fibres.
Polymax supplies Mapei Adesilex rubber adhesives. They are ideal for use with our rubber flooring and matting range. We sell a variety of different types to suit indoor, high humidity, or external applications.
EPDM rubber is a terpolymer of ethylene, propylene and diene monomers. O rings manufactured from EPDM exhibit an excellent resistance to weathering and ozone, water and steam. General purpose EPDM O rings are manufactured using a sulphur based curing system, these are suitable for use up to +120°C whereas peroxide cured O rings can be used up to +150°C. EPDM is particularly useful when sealing in brake systems that use fluids having a glycol (Dot 3 and 4) or silicone base (Dot 5). Polymax peroxide cured EPDM O-ring have a series of approvals including ACS, WRAS, KTW, EN 681-1.
