Description
Dating back to the 1970s, Omniseal® PTFE rotary lip seals or rotary shaft seals were introduced to bridge the performance gap between conventional elastomer lip seals and mechanical face seals. From the 1970s to 1980s, Omniseal Solutions worked closely with customers to quickly qualify these lip seals in applications for critical industries including industrial and aviation. Since this time, our manufacturing and engineering business has been providing the polymer solution to meet the high-performance requirements from customers including leakage and wear life. Performing in hostile environments where elastomer lip seals fail and in some cases where mechanical face seals are used, Omniseal Solutions’ PTFE lip seals are selected as they help to overcome extreme temperatures, aggressive media, high surface speeds/pressure, and lack of lubrication conditions.
