In these instances, Viton can be the perfect sealing material for methanol/ethanol-blended gasoline.
Polyacrylate is a great compromise between cost and quality. It has a high performing temperature and chemical range, but not to the extent of the range of Viton. The temperature ranges from 31°C to 148°C (-25°F to 300°F). Polyacrylate is primarily used in automotive transmissions and hoses but also found in shaft seals, gaskets and o-rings, due to offering a high resistance to hot oil and oxidation. While Polyacrylate is a great alternative to other high temperature resistant materials that are more expensive, it does have a poor water compatibility and cold flexibility. The best situation for Polyacrylate is an environment where heat and oil resistance but cost is the major issue. And while these 4 different materials cover a wide range of applications, there are even more materials out there designed for very specific niches in mind.
PTFE oil seals
They are best known for their bright light emission that is far reaching. Their tungsten is encased in a quartz tube filled with xenon gas. They may require more power when turned on but use much less of it to maintain brightness. Moreover, they have a longer lifespan compared to the halogens. They may seem better but they also present some limitations such as being more expensive as far as manufacturing and replacement is concerned. They are not easy to manufacture from their complex design. Their bright light cause a blinding effect to oncoming traffic which is undesirable and can cause dangers on roads.
Seals, including oil seals, have undergone a great development in recent years and are totally unlike the original product. PTFE has taken over the oil seals market for modern engines mainly because traditional oil seals started causing more and more problems. Such as evaporation of chemical plasticisers from the elastomeric material, which eventually caused engine oil leakage. Now, the focus is more on durability and frequency of servicing.
Common lip materials available for use in our oil seals include:
If the drive gear has slanting teeth, they may cause the rotor arm to turn. If it does, mark its new position to aid refitting
