Understanding Polyurethane Hydraulic Seals: The SSI Difference
What Sets Polyurethane Hydraulic Seals Apart?
Polyurethane hydraulic seals, particularly those manufactured under the SSI brand, offer a unique combination of properties that make them ideal for hydraulic applications:
Superior wear resistance: Outlasting traditional rubber seals in abrasive environments
Excellent temperature tolerance: Maintaining performance in extreme hot and cold conditions
Chemical compatibility: Resistant to a wide range of hydraulic fluids and oils
Exceptional elasticity: Providing superior sealing even under fluctuating pressures
Low compression set: Retaining original shape for extended periods
High tensile strength: Withstanding high-pressure applications without failure
Customizable hardness: Available in various durometer ranges to suit specific needs
Compared to other seal materials like rubber or PTFE, SSI's polyurethane hydraulic seals offer a balanced combination of strength, flexibility, and longevity that's hard to beat.
