PTFE Rotary Lip Seals – 6 Feature Competitors Don’t Want You to Know!


PTFE Rotary Lip Seal Design

When choosing a metal-cased rotary lip seal, you have many options.  One design choice to be made isPTFE-rotary-lip-seals what material to use for the lip.  Most rotary shaft seals have a lip that is made of a thermoplastic (such as PTFE, PP, or PVC), an elastomer (natural or synthetic rubber), a thermoplastic elastomer (for example, PE), or a metal.  In this post, we are going to look at what makes PTFE a competitive choice for a metal-cased rotary lip seal by investigating six things your competitor’s don’t want you to know.
