Industrial Piston Seals by Polypac
High-performance materials for demanding environments
Polypac's Industrial Piston Seals combine decades of material science and field experience. Starting from filled PTFE such as bronze, carbon, graphite, MoS₂ and glass-filled PTFE, we now offer elastomers including NBR, FKM, silicone, EPDM and High Quality FFKM. These options provide low friction, high wear resistance and chemical compatibility for a wide range of temperatures and media.
Precision manufacturing and capacity
Our custom rubber ring and O-ring factory spans over 10,000 m² with 8,000 m² of dedicated production area, equipped with industry-leading CNC molding and testing systems. As one of China’s largest seal manufacturers, Polypac ensures consistent tolerances, repeatable quality and scalable volumes to meet both prototype and high-volume production needs.
Custom solutions for special working conditions
Polypac specializes in tailored Industrial Piston Seals for unique operating conditions—high pressure, high speed, abrasive fluids, or vacuum. We collaborate with clients to select compound formulations, backup rings and composite constructions to optimize service life and performance.
R&D partnerships and technical expertise
Founded in 2008, Polypac maintains long-term cooperation with universities and research institutes domestically and internationally. Our engineering team supports material development, finite element analysis and seal design verification to reduce development cycles and improve field reliability.
Comprehensive testing and quality assurance
Every piston seal undergoes rigorous physical and chemical testing—hardness, tensile, compression set, dynamic wear and leak rate tests—backed by traceable documentation. Our quality systems ensure each batch meets customer specifications and international standards.
Applications and customer value
Polypac’s Industrial Piston Seals are used across hydraulic cylinders, mobile equipment, presses, injection molding machines and heavy machinery. We deliver lower downtime, reduced maintenance costs and improved machine efficiency—backed by responsive technical support and global logistics.

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.
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.
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.
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.
