THERMOPLASTIC ELASTOMERS Material: HPU

1 1
General description: HPU is a hydrolysis-resistant thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer. HPU’s high resistance to hydrolysis
(hydrolysis is degradation in water) is rarely found in polyurethanes. It is stable in water up to +90°C and has an outstanding resistance
in mineral oil. Because of its resistance to hydrolysis, HPU is particularly recommended for the use in purewater and seawater, for
■ Thermoplastic elastomers belong to the elastomer-family of materials. HFA and HFB fluids and biologically degradable hydraulic fluids (vegetable oils and synthetic esters) and food articles. HPU is KTW

The elastomer-family consists of materials that can be highly expanded by approved and complies with FDA standards. HPU also has excellent resistance against explosive decompression (ED).

exerting relatively little power. Because of their structure, elastomers have a Temperature range: -20 ºC to 110 ºC

high retractibility, which means the remaining deformation is very small.

Unlike elastomers (rubber), thermoplastic elastomers are physically,
but not chemically cross-linked, therefore they can be melted
at higher temperatures and can be processed with traditional
thermoplastic processing techniques. Thermoplastic elastomers
are soluble and generally they swell less in comparison to their
chemically cross-linked equivalents.
The thermoplastic elastomers Seal Engineering AS offers are
various types of polyurethanes, abbreviation PU.
Material: GPU
General description: GPU is a cast hydrolysis-resistant polyurethane-elastomer with similar properties as HPU especially
regarding its chemical stability. GPU can be used in the same hydraulic fluids as HPU. Generally, GPU is used for seals with a diameter
from 540mm up to 4000 mm.
Temperature range: -30 ºC to 110 ºC
Polyurethanes have superior mechanical properties compared
to elastomers and with the variety of different polyurethanes

systems.
General description: LPU is a thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer which is modified for low temperature applications, with
a minimum service temperature of - 50°C. LPU has an high abrasive resistance, low compression set, high physical properties and
tear strength. Products made from this material can be used in mineral oil and in bio-degradable hydraulic oils like vegetable oils and
synthetic esters.
Temperature range: -50 ºC to 110 ºC

Material: SPU
General description: SPU is a polyurethane that has been optimized in regard of the tribological characteristics (friction and
wear), achieved by an addition of a synergetic combination of solid lubricants. This special material is therefore best suited for the most
severe applications for water hydraulics or badly lubricated systems as well as in oil-free pneumatics. Chemical properties similar to
HPU.
Temperature range: -20 ºC to 110 ºC

Material: XHPU
General description: XHPU is a hard grade polyurethane (shore 60D) with chemical properties similar to HPU. This material is
specially developed to replace PTFE-based materials in sliding seals/composite seals (our profiles K08, S09 and others) in systems with
adequate temperature and media (up to 110ºC and media as for HPU). Used in composite seals, XHPU exhibits greater resistance to
extrusion, less leakage, longer life-time and easier installation properties than the traditional PTFE-based seals. A comparison between
XHPU and PTFE-based seals is shown in the “Suggested Materials” section.
Temperature range: -20 ºC to 110 ºC

Material: XSPU
General description: XSPU is a hard grade polyurethane (shore 57D) that has been optimised in regard of the tribological
characteristics (friction and wear), achieved by an addition of a synergetic combination of solid lubricants. The chemical properties are
similar to HPU. This material replaces PTFE-based materials for the same seals as XHPU, but is better suited in systems where low
friction is crucial (water hydraulics, badly lubricated etc.).
Temperature range: -20 ºC to 110 ºC

Material: XGPU
General description: XGPU is hard grade polyurethane (shore 54D) with chemical properties similar to HPU. XGPU replaces
XHPU for large diameter seals, above 600 mm diameter.

suitable for applications with aliphatic hydrocarbons like propane or butane and mineral oils and greases (for short times up to 170°C)
and also for sulfonated crude oil. Furthermore, it can be used in many diluted acids and bases and salt solutions even at elevated
temperatures and in glycol-water mixtures. RU4 is not compatible with fuels with a high content of aromatic hydrocarbons (premium
blend petrol), gasolines (petrol / alcohol blends) ketones, esters, ethers and chlorinated hydrocarbons like trichloroethylene and
tetrachloroethy-lene. RU4 complies with FDA-recommendations. RU4 is also on stock in hard grade (93ºshore A), ED-grade, low-
temperature grade (-40ºC) and ED/low-temperature grade (-30ºC).
Temperature range: -25 ºC to 150 ºC

Material: RU5
General description: RU5 is a silicone rubber, or VMQ. Owing to the poor mechanical properties, which are noticeably lower in
comparison to other rubbers, RU5 is mostly used for static applications. RU5 is highly resistant against weathering, ozone and ageing,
and also has a wide temperature range (-60 to +200 ºC). The compatibility with mineral oils depends on the content of aromatic
hydrocarbons in the oil. RU5 complies with FDA-recommendations.

Temperature range: -60 ºC to 200 ºC

CONCLUSION
The test results shown above are a clear evidence that sliding
seals made of XHPU and XSPU outperform seals made of
PTFE-based materials for a wide range of applications. Only
special fluids and/or elevated temperatures are reasons to use
PTFE-based seals.
The improved wear resistance achieved by the use of seals
made from XHPU and XSPU will not only lead to an extended
lifetime compared to PTFE-based systems, but also have
a lower demand for surface finish. Furthermore, the better
extrusion resistance allows higher pressure range or larger
component tolerances (extrusion gaps) than comparable
PTFE-based seals. These benefits along with less leakage, good
friction properties and easier installation give XHPU and XSPU
tremendous advantages compared to the traditional PTFE-
based seals.

MODIFIED PTFE
For applications with aggressive media and/or high temperature,
PTFE or PTFE with fillers are often the preferred seal materials due
to their excellent chemical and thermal resistance. Unfortunately
PTFE-virgin has poor mechanical properties, and different fillers
2
are needed to obtain enhanced mechanical properties. However,
these filled materials are still restricted with regards to mechanical
properties given the PTFE-virgin basis, and may also experience
less resistance to some media (the fillers are attacked). In addition,
some applications require the homopolymer structure of PTFE-
virgin (food and drug applications, semiconductor etc.) with poor
mechanical properties as an undesirable effect.
For many applications the solution can be a modified PTFE which
has the same chemical and thermal resistance as PTFE-virgin, but
exhibits several enhanced properties. In addition, according to ISO
12086, this material can still be classified as a homopolymer.
The modified PTFE results in several enhanced properties
compared to PTFE-virgin. The most advantageous properties are:
MODIFIED PTFE WITH FILLERS
The modified PTFE shows several advantages compared to PTFE-
virgin. However, many applications require enhanced properties,
especially mechanical, above what modified PTFE can offer. In
order to achieve this, modified PTFE can be combined with various
fillers, in the same manner as for PTFE-virgin.
CONCLUSION
For applications which require excellent chemical and thermal
properties PTFE is often the material of choice, either PTFE-
virgin or with fillers. However, these materials have rather poor
mechanical properties, especially PTFE virgin. By using a
modified PTFE, with or without fillers, you may improve material
properties, giving you an optimal seal or gasket with regards to
sealability, pressure, longevity and installation.

• Substantially lower deformation under load. About the
same cold flow as PTFE with 25% glass fibre. This is an
important feature where fillers may cause contamination
or reduced chemical resistance.
• Improved stress recovery, particularly at elevated
temperatures. This is an important feature for seals and
gaskets where improved stress recovery can translate to
longer sealability or less retorquing of parts.
• Reduced tensile strain/flow. This makes for easier
installation for parts that require stretching.
• Reduced permeation. This is an important feature when
the material is used to protect against aggressive media,
for instance as gaskets.
• Smoother surface of machined parts. This results in
greater contact area of the seal, important for sealing
against gas.
Also when comparing the two materials with various fillers, modified
PTFE are superior compared to PTFE virgin, given the same fillers
and content. This is because the initial properties of the modified
PTFE outperform those of PTFE virgin, thus resulting in improved
properties also for the filled material.
Seal Engineering AS is dedicated to optimize sealing solutions,
and considers modified PTFE, with or without fillers, to be our
material of choice when it comes to applications requiring the
chemical and thermal resistance of PTFE.

Seal Engineering AS innovative and modern
production technology together with our unique
experience enables us to produce seals to fit almost
every housing and application. However, for new
designs we recommend that certain guidelines
regarding the housing dimensions are followed.
These guidelines are presented in this chapter for
the most common and suitable seal profiles.

S01-P can also be produced to fit almost any non standard
S01-P in HPU housing.
For applications demanding higher pressure or larger gaps, S02-P
(with active backup ring) is preferred. For demands regarding
higher temperatures or increased chemical resistance profiles S01
and S02 may also be produced in different kinds of rubbers, called
S01-R and S02-R.

ES 212.206-P ES 212.206-R

Profile S09-E is a single acting rod seal, consisting of a sealing

element and an elastomeric O-ring energizer. We supply profile
S09-E in XHPU/XSPU (hard grade polyurethanes) and PTFE-based
materials. S09-E in XHPU should be the preferred choice for
standard hydraulic; up to 110 ºC, whereas PTFE-based materials
are the right choice for elevated temperatures, excellent chemical
resistance or very low friction. Together these materials are able to

PISTON SEALS – Housing recommendations

K01-P and K01-PE

Piston seals:
K01 is our standard single acting u-cup seal piston seal. For single
acting cylinders K01-PE is the preferred profile, whereas K01-P
is preferred in back-to-back arrangements. These profiles can be
produced in different polyurethanes, with HPU being the most
versatile and widely used.

K01 has the following advantages: ES 212.301-PK01-PE ES 212.301-R

K01-P ES 212.302-P ES 212.302-P ES 212.302-R
• Excellent static and dynamic sealing
• Excellent holding/positioning capability for single acting cylinders (K01-PE)
• Back-to-back arrangements for double acting cylinders or for separation of fluids (K01-P) Lead-in chamfer, C, avoids damage to seal during

• High wear resistance/operational reliability installation. Surface roughness Rt < 4 µm.

• Good chemical resistance For surface finish see end of section.

ES 212.305-R ES 212.306-P ES 212.306-R

Profile K08-D is a double acting piston seal, consisting of a sealing

element and elastomeric O-ring energizer. We supply profile K08-D
in XHPU/XSPU (hard grade polyurethanes) and PTFE-based
materials. K08-D in XHPU should be the preferred choice for
standard hydraulic; up to 110 ºC, whereas PTFE-based materials
are the right choice for elevated temperatures, excellent chemical
resistance or very low friction. Together these materials are able to

4 The minimum value for G and S is

governed by the fact that the maximum
radial play of the guide ring must be
smaller than the maximum radial play of
the metal parts.
To ensure proper functioning and
sufficient axial support of the guide ring,
the maximum value of G is T/2.

The bore in front (pressure-side) of

single-acting seals is often governed by
the design of the guide ring groove.
Fig. 17, Housing for guide ring F01 (piston).
The maximum allowable radial gap S
on the non-pressure side of the seal is
dependent on factors such as seal type,
pressure, material, temperature, speed,
medium etc., and may differ from the
values of G. For design purposes both
G and S must be within their respective
limits.

O-rings
In this chapter we present the most common seal
used for static sealing, the O-ring. However, the
term “static seal” is not entirely correct, since
the O-ring is also used for dynamic sealing in
some applications. In addition to cover many of
the aspects regarding O-rings we will also present
profiles that are suitable to replace O-rings in both
static and in dynamic applications.
78
These O-ring replacements represent an
improvement in overall sealing effect, and should
definitely be considered for both design and
maintenance purposes.
Seal Engineering AS stocks thousands of different
O-ring dimensions in many different materials. In
addition we are able to produce O-rings and O-ring

A-AA-A HNBR is an enhanced NBR with good resistance to
temperature, abrasion, ozone, weathering, and has low
compression set. HNBR is also resistant to various oil additives,
hydrogen sulphide and amines found in crude oil. Temperature
range -20 ºC to 150 ºC. Extended range – 35 ºC to 175 ºC.
FEP O-rings has a core of either VMQ or FKM, encapsulated
by Teflon FEP®. This gives chemical resistance close to that of
PTFE, but better elasticity than PTFE O-rings. FEP O-rings are
only to be used as static seals. Temperature range -100 ºC to
200 ºC.

FEPM (Tetrafluorthylene-propylene, TFE/P, Aflas®) PTFE (Polytetrafluorethylene, Teflon®)

FEPM is resistant to a wide range of chemicals and HFA, HFB,
HFC and HFD liquids. FEPM is often used when there are
mixtures of different media such as sour gas and oil, amine
corrosion inhibitors, hot water, steam, and media with high PH.
For many applications FEPM outperforms both FKM and FFKM
with regards to overall sealability. Temperature range -0 ºC to
225 ºC. Extended range -10 ºC to 250 ºC.
PTFE has excellent resistance against chemicals and

Profile R14 is a square ring, and can be delivered with or without
chamfer. For static sealing no chamfer is necessary, but for other
applications we deliver with suitable chamfer.
The R14 profile usually has a square cross section, but can also be
manufactured to other dimensions. This profile can be used in the

R14 is an excellent alternative to O-rings for axial static sealing,
especially for high pressures or large extrusion gaps. The square
form remains practically constant even at high pressures.
As an O-ring replacement R14 is normally manufactured in either
one of our outstanding PU or elastomer (rubber) compounds.
However, we can supply the R14 profile in almost any material,
suitable to cover most demands regarding pressure, media,
and sealability. Dimensions up to 600 mm outside diameter are
available for same day delivery.

with compression and pressure activated with compression and pressure activated

R15-P
The R15 profile is designed for radial static sealing, and can
replace O-rings or O-rings with backup rings. The O-ring or O-ring
with backup ring solution has weaknesses since the O-ring may
become twisted during assembly and/or the backup ring may not
be ideally positioned. In high pressure applications with limited
space, the use of backup ring may also be restricted.
The design of the R15 profile eliminates these problems, and the
seal is also capable of pressures of 500 bar with a radial gap of 0.2
mm. In addition this profile can be used in the same grooves as
O-rings, with the same surface finish requirements.
Compared to O-rings the R15 profile has the following advantages:
• High resistance to pressure and extrusion.
• Outstanding sealing behaviour over long periods.
• Long service life.
• Low compression set.
• No twisting in the groove.
• No relative movement during pressure cycles.
• Dimensionally stable under pressure.
• No additional backup ring needed.
• Good compensation for production tolerances.

The geometry with the dual sealing lip bridges production

tolerances and it also makes for easy assembly.

The R15 seal is available in PU and elastomers up to 600 mm

outside diameter for same day delivery.

This creature has the common name “pufferfish”

which applies to their ability to fill their extremely
elastics stomacs with water to deter predators. Thus,
a hungry predator stalking the puffers may suddenly
find itself facing what seems to be a much larger
fish and pause, giving the puffers an opportunity to

standard
retreat to safety.

SEALS
When using the term standard seals, we generally
mean seals that are moulded and produced in
large quantities. These seals are produced in the
most common or standard dimensions and are
available as stocked items. Most metric profiles
have size/diameter increments of 5 millimetres for
smaller dimensions, and 10 millimetres for larger
dimensions. In between sizes are also available
from stock.
In this chapter we will introduce common types of
wipers, rod seals, piston seals, and guide rings used
6
in hydraulic systems. Seal Engineering AS keeps all
the profiles presented below in stock in a variety of
dimensions.

Wipers
Our standard wipers are available in various materials, suitable for
different applications. In stock we have wipers in NBR, FKM and
PU, all with metal outer casing or insert. Mild steel is standard, but
also stainless steel is available. Our standard wipers are designed
for open housings and assembly with press fit. We stock metric
sizes, inch sizes and Japanese millimetres.

rod seals
Single acting rod seals (lipseals) in PU are available in stock,
similar to our profiles S01-P and S17-P.
Packing seals/chevron seals made of fabric reinforced NBR and
POM, up to rod diameter 600 mm, are available in stock.

6 piston seals
We carry a large selection of compact double acting piston seals,
our profile K9 (similar to K09). The K9 profile consists of five parts
(some dimensions only three parts), a NBR sealing element, two
polyester and POM backup rings. The backup rings are cut for
easy assembly.

guide bands
Guide bands, similar to profile F01, are available in a wide range
of width and thickness. We stock guide bands in materials such as
phenolic resin and PTFE with various fillers (glass, bronze, carbon).

Industry specific seals Special seals

■ Although much of the equipment and seals used in different industries are
basically similar, every sector of industry has its own requirements regarding
seals and sealing solutions.
These requirements are mostly regarding the working parameters of the applications, but other requirements, not directly related to the sealing
solution, also exist. Examples of such are quality assurance system (documentation, traceability, delivery precision etc.), packing requirements,
application testing and confidentiality.
■ With our experience and state of the art equipment for machining of seals
we have solved numerous sealing problems. The influencing factors to achieve
the desired result are usually seal profile, seal arrangement in a sealing
system and material selection. Testing and FE-analysis are also used to
achieve and verify the desired result.

Seal Engineering AS knows the

challenges regarding applications
and other requirements very well and
with our experience and expertise
we have supplied seals and sealing
solutions to almost every sector of
industry, including the following:
• Agriculture
• Automotive
• Chemical & Petrochemical
• Defence & Aerospace
• Food & Pharmaceutical
• Hydraulic Power
• Hydro Power
Our standard range of machined seals consists of more than
170 profiles, and these serve as a basis for most of our sealing
• Marine solutions. With CNC-programming we have almost unlimited
• Medical & Biotechnology possibilities to modify the standard profile to suit a given
• Metallurgical application.
• Oil & Gas If one of our standard profiles cannot be used as a basis for the
• Pneumatic Power desired solution we will design the sealing solutions from scratch.
• Pulp & Paper
Even small modifications such as changing the design of the
sealing lip, preload, length or cross section on a seal can have a
great effect on the performance of the seal. These modifications
may seem easy and straightforward, but require experience and
knowledge of seal performance. In addition such modifications are
virtually impossible when it comes to moulded seals, unless heavy
investments are carried out. Examples of special profiles.
With our equipment and knowledge Seal Engineering AS can

7 7
perform such modifications on a daily basis, providing the
customer unrivalled short lead-times in the sealing industry.

With our 5-axis machining centre and extensive material knowledge

we offer Advanced Engineered Plastic Parts (AEPP). We use Pro/
ENGINEER® as our standard cad-system.
However, the possibilities are unlimited, and our approach to find
the right solution is considerably more time and cost-effective
compared to the traditional method (moulding).

 CUSTOMIZED SEALING SOLUTIONS
Seal arrangement
Many sealing solutions require more than one seal, called a sealing
system. The arrangement of the seals within such a system is
crucial.
Different seals are designed to perform under various conditions
and may have various influences on the overall sealing effect. Such
influences include performance with regards to pressure, pressure
shocks, static sealing, dynamic sealing, friction, stick-slip, back-
pumping, pressure build-up, reliability/longevity, wiping effect, etc.
Material selection
7 Testing and simulation
For design of sealing solutions Seal Engineering AS can offer the
use of Finite Element Analysis (FEA) on our designs to simulate
performance and limitations for specific applications. This powerful
simulation tool can substantially reduce the cost and time used
in development of sealing solutions. In addition we can also offer
application testing of seal prototypes, up to full scale.

110
The desired performance can be achieved with the use of standard
seals or special seals, but either way the seals must be correctly
arranged within the sealing system. Seal Engineering AS has
extensive knowledge and experience in the construction of sealing
systems, enabling us to find the right sealing system for your
application.
Choosing the correct materials is probably the single most
important factor in order to achieve the desired sealing effect.
The material choice will have a direct or indirect influence on all
the performance characteristics of a sealing solution.
To find the optimal material for sealing of a given application we
can choose from many different material groups, materials within
the group, or a combination of different materials.
Seal Engineering AS offers sealing solutions based on a wide
range of materials, including rubbers, polyurethanes and
thermoplastics. In addition to our standard range of materials,
numerous materials within these groups are available to suit
specific applications.
In addition to the sealing element itself, a seal often consists of
other parts such as backups, energizers, retainers and casings.
These elements can be made of different metals, in addition to
the materials groups mentioned.
If metal is required, stainless steel or bronze are most commonly
used, but other qualities are also available. Energizers in the type
of springs are offered as meander springs, ordinary springs and
canted coil springs in qualities ranging from 304 steel to elgiloy
alloy.
With regards to improving existing sealing solutions determining the
reasons for seal failure are vital. We offer in-house experts in order
to determine these reasons. In addition we cooperate with leading
laboratories if additional testing and/or analysis are required.

INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
General checklist:
• ­Make sure the piston rod and/or cylinder tube have proper • All tools should be rounded
lead in chamfers • As a general rule, installation is made easier if the seals are
• Deburr, chamfer and/or round sharp edges being heated in oil, water or hot air to a certain extent.
• Machining residues should be removed and all parts and NOTE: The heating process is to be governed by each
tools should be thoroughly cleaned materials’ specific properties.
• Installation of seals is made easier if the metal parts or seals
are greased or oiled. However – make sure that the sealing
material(s) is compatible with the lubricants applied
Elastic rod seals to be fitted in a closed
groove in a stuffing box should be kidney-
shaped to slip easily into the groove.
Use special tools suited for the operation
(Illustration 1), and make sure there are
no sharps bends on the seals.
Illustration 1
Seals made of PTFE-based materials must
be installed using special developed tools
for each dimension. Seal Engineering AS
can provide both ready-to-use tools or
engineered drawings for production at
your own facility.

All data and recommendations shown in this list are based on many years of experience with the production of seals, testing and on information from the
specialised literature. In spite of all the experiences, unknown factors in the application of seals can influence the correctness of a general recommendation
tremendously, for which reason the recommendations and proposals resulting from this list cannot be regarded as binding.
