The use of corrosion-resistant FRP has been extensive in infrastructure, particularly in bridges, pipelines, and storage tanks. Its lightweight yet high-strength characteristics allow for easy installation and reduced maintenance costs. In the chemical industry, FRP is used for containment vessels, piping systems, and equipment, ensuring safe and efficient operation without the risk of material degradation In the chemical industry, FRP is used for containment vessels, piping systems, and equipment, ensuring safe and efficient operation without the risk of material degradation
Standard springs are made of carbon steel. We use stainless-steel springs for our GR and GRST oil seals made from FKM rubber. In some rare cases, an O-ring is even used as a spring element. Standard PTFE lip seals are not fitted with springs.

Updates in oil seals
For quality gaskets, Victor Reinz is the place to be. The German company invented the head gasket, but today it also specialises in other types of seals, including oil seals.
Oil seals are one of the major contact type sealing devices.
• They prevent leakage of the lubricant or other sealed substance, and
• prevent entry of dust and foreign matter (dirt, water, metal powder, etc.) from outside.
An oil seal serves three crucial purposes within any machinery. First, it prevents the leakage of lubricants or fluids outside the seal, even under high pressure. This function ensures the effective operation of equipment, as sufficient lubrication is a key requirement for the smooth functioning of machinery. Second, it retains the lubricating oil within the machinery. This retention function reduces the need for constant maintenance or re-lubrication, saving time and resources. Third, the oil seal acts as a barrier against contaminants. It prevents dirt, dust, and other potential contaminants from entering the machinery, protecting sensitive parts from damage or wear.
These new oil seals can also be equipped with a shaft rotation sensor.
Advantages:
– Good static sealing
– Compensation of different thermal expansion
– Reduced risk of fretting corrosion
– Higher bore surface roughness is allowed
– Installation in split-housings
– Modern lip design provides low radial forces

• More compact thanks to the thin plate (uses a high-strength steel plate)
In our cutting edge technology centers in the Netherlands, the USA and the UK, we design and develop specific and custom-made rubber sealing parts for many industries.
