Polypac Backup Rings – Strong Support for Seals

Polypac Backup Rings are designed to prevent O-ring and seal extrusion in high-pressure and high-temperature applications. Built from advanced PTFE compounds and specialty materials, our backup rings deliver consistent performance, longer service life, and reliable sealing under tough working conditions.

Why Choose Polypac Backup Rings?

  • Anti-extrusion protection: Stops seal material from being forced into gaps under pressure.
  • Durable materials: Available in filled PTFE variants (bronze, carbon, graphite, MoS2, glass) and engineered polymers for varied environments.
  • Wide compatibility: Works with NBR, FKM, silicone, EPDM, FFKM O-rings and custom rubber seals.
  • Custom solutions: Tailored designs for unique housings and special working conditions.

Applications

Commonly used in hydraulic cylinders, valves, pumps, compressors, and high-pressure fittings, Polypac Backup Rings are ideal where seal extrusion, wear, or chemical exposure is a concern. They perform well in oil, hydraulic fluids, and many industrial media.

Q&A

How do I choose the right material for my sealing application?
Material selection depends on four key factors: Media: What fluid or gas will the seal contact? (e.g., petroleum oil, water, chemicals, steam) Temperature: What is the minimum and maximum operating temperature? Pressure: What is the system's operating pressure? Are there pressure spikes? Application: Is it a static, dynamic, or rotary seal? Example: NBR (Buna-N) is excellent for standard hydraulic oil, while FKM (Viton®) is needed for high temperatures or aggressive chemicals.
Can I reuse a seal?
We strongly recommend never reusing seals. Once compressed and used, a seal takes a "set" and its elastic properties are degraded. Reusing it almost always results in a leak. Always install a new seal during any maintenance or repair.
What is the difference between NBR and FKM materials?
NBR (Nitrile/Buna-N): A general-purpose, cost-effective material with excellent resistance to petroleum-based oils and fuels. It has a standard temperature range of -30°C to +100°C (-22°F to +212°F). FKM (Fluoroelastomer/Viton®): A premium material with excellent resistance to high temperatures (up to 200°C+), chemicals, and oils. It is used in more severe environments but is more expensive than NBR.
How important is surface finish on the metal parts that contact the seal?
Extremely important. A rough surface will abrade and wear out the seal quickly, causing leaks. A finish that is too smooth can prevent a lubricating film from forming. A typical recommended surface finish for dynamic applications is 0.2 to 0.8 μm (8-32 μin) Ra.
