Working Condition Guide

Select Materials by Operating Condition

A quick decision aid for buyers and engineers who need to shortlist materials based on actual service conditions.

High Temperature

Recommended: FKM, ACM, selected VMQ

FKM and ACM are common choices for hot oils and lubricants; silicone is used more for wide-temperature static service than for hydrocarbon-rich media.

Strong Oil Exposure

Recommended: NBR, HNBR, ACM

NBR is the standard choice for many oil seals, HNBR adds durability, and ACM is often used where hot lubricants are a main concern.

Aggressive Chemicals / Low Friction

Recommended: PTFE

Well suited for aggressive media, clean process systems, and sealing applications that prioritize chemical resistance and low friction.

High Wear / High Pressure

Recommended: PU

Best matched with hydraulic and dynamic sealing systems that require strong wear resistance.

Outdoor / Waterproof / Anti-Aging

Recommended: EPDM

Well suited for outdoor exposure, water-related systems, and ozone-resistant applications.

General Industrial Sealing

Recommended: NBR

A cost-effective default option for broad sealing applications in manufacturing and maintenance.
