Automotive O-Ring Kits by Polypac — Reliable Sealing Solutions
Precision Manufacturing and Material Expertise
Polypac manufactures Automotive O-Ring Kits using advanced equipment in our 10,000+ m² facility. With roots in filled PTFE and decades of material R&D, we supply O-rings in NBR, FKM, EPDM, silicone and FFKM for optimal compatibility with fuels, oils, coolants and brake fluids. Each Automotive O-Ring Kit is engineered for consistent dimensions, shore hardness and chemical resistance to meet OEM and aftermarket demands.
Custom O-Ring Kits for Demanding Automotive Applications
Whether for fuel injectors, transmissions, brake assemblies, engine housings or EV thermal systems, our Automotive O-Ring Kits are tailored to specific operating temperatures, pressures and media. Polypac provides bespoke kits that include mixed-material O-rings, color-coding, and batch traceability to simplify service, repair and assembly lines.
Quality Assurance and Testing
Every Automotive O-Ring Kit undergoes rigorous testing — dimensional inspection, compression set, aging, leak and chemical compatibility tests — using industry-leading instruments. Our collaboration with universities and research centers ensures continuous improvement in seal performance and longevity under real-world automotive stressors.

How can I prevent seal damage during installation?
Use Tools: Always use dedicated installation tools (e.g., picks, cones, guides). Lubricate: Always lubricate the seal and the contact surface. Protect Sharp Edges: Cover sharp threads and edges with tape or use an installation sleeve. Check the Groove: Ensure the installation groove is clean, deburred, and undamaged.
When should I use a spring-energized seal instead of a standard elastomeric seal?
Consider a spring-energized seal (e.g., GSF, SPN types) for demanding applications involving: Extreme Temperatures (below -30°C or above +200°C) Aggressive Chemicals that elastomers can't handle Very Low Leakage or "Zero Leakage" requirements Poor Lubricity or dry running conditions The internal spring maintains constant sealing force, compensating for wear and system variables.
What does "AS568" mean?
AS568 is the Aerospace Standard that defines the dimensions for over 360 standard O-ring sizes. It is the most widely accepted sizing system in North America and globally. An AS568 number (e.g., AS568-214) specifies a precise inside diameter and cross-section.
What is the purpose of the metal spring in a rotary shaft seal?
The garter spring in a shaft seal (e.g., FSKR, SPGO types) provides a constant radial force on the sealing lip. This ensures consistent contact with the rotating shaft, compensating for minor wear, eccentricity, and vibration to prevent lubricant leakage.
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.
