Fiberglass grating offers numerous benefits when compared with traditional metal gratings or other types of flooring materials including superior strength, slip resistance, durability, cost-effectiveness, low maintenance, and excellent fire resistance properties making it an attractive option for plant operators and safety engineers looking for reliable solutions in demanding applications such as factories floors, staircases walkways or platforms among others. If you’re looking for a safe and reliable option that won’t break the bank, then fiberglass grating might be the right solution for you!
Construction done with FRP grating will stand the test of time and can hold up in these environments.
Metal inserts must be carefully prepared in operations involving cleaning and roughening surfaces (grit-blasting or phosphatizing), stamping out parts, application of primer (usually by dipping), and curing of the primer (often by baking for a short time at moderate temperature).3 Primer curing minimizes the possibility of wiping primer off portions of the insert by stock flow during molding. The treated metal inserts must be used within a relatively short time (usually a day or less), so that functionality necessary for bonding is not lost by reaction with moisture in the air. Freshness of the primer surface is particularly important for peroxide-cured and base-resistant fluoroelastomer compounds. Compound formulation should be adjusted to attain good adhesion.
Sometimes, two different kinds of fluids leak from one chamber to another and gets mixed up. Here, this type comes as a boon. This is a metal inserted duplex type oil seal recommended on such assembly where mix-up of two different fluids is to be prevented.
Because of the higher temperature resistance of FKM, this material is also chosen for applications where higher speeds play a role, which raise the temperature at the sealing lip considerably. Usually, using FKM will result in a longer life than using NBR. This compensates the higher price of FKM compared to NBR, as an FKM does not have to be replaced as frequently. The low temperature resistance of standard FKM is limited to -15 ˚C.
Another important factor to consider is the temperature range in which the gasket will be used. Natural rubber gaskets have a broad temperature range, but it is crucial to select a gasket material that can withstand the specific temperature extremes of your application without losing its sealing properties.
For more severe oil-seal service at temperatures of 160°C (320°F) or higher for extended periods, more resistant fluoroelastomer compositions are required for long service life. High-fluorine VDF/PMVE/TFE elastomers, along with TFE/olefin FEPM elastomers, are much less susceptible to attack by oil additives. TFE/P fluoroelastomers have the requisite chemical resistance, but have low fluorine content, leading to relatively high swell and to soft vulcanizates with lower wear resistance than desired.
Our oil seals serve a wide array of industrial sectors both domestically and internationally, and we offer the following as part of our online product catalog:
The basic principle of sealing is straightforward – the flexible lip is held against the rotating part (usually the shaft) whilst the casing (or O.D.) is pressed into the housing or bore and holds the seal in place. The sealing lip needs some form of lubrication to avoid overheating and is usually energized by means of a garter spring.

Moreover, regular inspection of the oil seal can reveal early signs of wear and tear, allowing for timely replacement before a minor issue escalates into a costly repair.
