Why Dust Seals Matter
Dust Seal performance directly impacts equipment reliability. Polypac's Dust Seal designs prevent particulate ingress, reduce wear on bearings and actuators, and extend maintenance intervals. Engineered for low friction and long service life, our seals form the first line of defense in hydraulic systems, construction equipment, and industrial machinery.
Advanced Materials & Expertise
We manufacture Dust Seals using a wide range of materials tailored to application demands. Leveraging our heritage in filled PTFE (bronze-filled, carbon-filled, graphite, MoS₂, and glass-filled) and elastomers (NBR, FKM, silicone, EPDM, FFKM), Polypac optimizes resilience against abrasion, temperature, and chemical attack. Our material development teams work with universities and research institutes to validate formulations for special working conditions.
Custom Design & Manufacturing
Founded in 2008, Polypac combines decades of seal expertise with one of China’s largest dedicated production facilities. Our custom rubber ring and O-ring factory spans over 10,000 m² with an 8,000 m² workshop equipped with state-of-the-art production and testing equipment. We deliver bespoke Dust Seal geometries, lip profiles, and compound selections to meet unique installation and performance criteria.
Applications & Industry Use
Polypac Dust Seals serve a broad range of industries: hydraulic cylinders, mobile equipment, agricultural machinery, mining, and heavy-duty OEMs. Typical benefits include enhanced dust exclusion, improved contamination control, and reduced lifecycle costs. We design for both static and dynamic sealing scenarios, considering shaft speeds, pressures, and environmental exposure.
Quality Assurance & Testing
Every Dust Seal undergoes rigorous testing—dimensional inspection, material characterization, and simulated wear trials—to ensure consistent performance. Our QA systems and traceability measures support high-volume production runs as well as small-batch customization.

Dust Seal Display
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.
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.
What is the difference between a static seal and a dynamic seal?
A Static Seal is used between two surfaces that do not move relative to each other (e.g., pipe flanges, end caps). O-rings and gaskets are common static seals. A Dynamic Seal is used between surfaces that do move (e.g., piston and cylinder, rotating shaft). Rod seals, piston seals, and rotary shaft seals are designed for this purpose.
Why did my O-ring fail prematurely?
Common causes of O-ring failure include: Chemical Incompatibility: Swelling, softening, or cracking due to fluid exposure. Improper Sizing: Using an incorrect size leads to over-compression or inadequate sealing force. Abrasion: Wear and tear from rough surface finishes or contaminated fluid. Extrusion: The seal is forced into the gap between metal parts under high pressure. Installation Damage: Nicks, cuts, or twists during assembly.
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.
