Maximising the life of a seal

The working life of a seal can be dramatically enhanced when the exposure to heat, humidity, oxygen, ozone and other solvents is kept in check. Keeping storage areas dry, cool, reasonably ventilated and free of foreign or dust particles is essential.

When cleaning warm water and a clean cloth is recommended.

Upon a seal’s surface, microscopic deviations enable recesses to form, which allow the seal to retain an oil film between its surface and that of the exterior.
