Oil-resistant seals are used in applications exposed to oil, where the seal regularly comes into contact with, for example, hydraulic oil, lubricating oils, diesel, or other petroleum products. For the seal to maintain its sealing performance over time, the material must withstand the effects of the medium without swelling, hardening, or losing its properties.
At Cabseal, we help companies select oil-resistant seals based on the technical requirements of the application. We take into account the medium the seal is designed to seal against, the operating temperature, pressure, and other operating conditions to recommend a material that will perform reliably over the long term in the specific environment.
Hydraulics, engines and pumpsWhen are oil-resistant gaskets used?
Oil-resistant seals are used in a wide range of industries and can be found, for example, in hydraulic power units, hydraulic cylinders, pumps, compressors, engines, transmissions, fuel pumps, tanks, and other process equipment where the seals are exposed to oils or fuels.
Requirements vary depending on the application. A gasket that performs well in a hydraulic system may not be the right choice for an engine or a fuel system, where temperatures are higher or other media are present. Therefore, it is important to select materials based on the application as a whole, rather than solely on the gasket’s dimensions.

Oil, fuel and temperatureFind the Right Oil-Resistant Gasket
Not all oil-resistant seals are suitable for the same application. The most appropriate material depends, among other things, on the type of oil or fuel the seal comes into contact with, the temperatures and pressures to which it is exposed, and how the component is used during operation.
