Material Selection

The right combination of seal jacket, spring energiser and approval standard is what makes a seal perform. Start with the area you need:

Jacket Materials

PTFE-based seal jacket grades — virgin, carbon, glass, bronze and Ekonol filled — with temperatures, friction coefficients and wear factors for each.

Compare jacket materials

Approved Materials

Eight PTFE and PEEK materials approved to NORSOK M-710 Rev 2 and API 6A for sour service in the oil and gas industry.

Spring Materials

Stainless steel, Elgiloy, Phynox, 17/7 PH and elastomer O-ring energisers — and which seal series each is standard or optional for.
