PTFE Piston Seal Product Category — Polypac
PTFE Piston Seal Solutions from Polypac
Polypac's PTFE piston seal range is engineered for demanding hydraulic and pneumatic applications where low friction, excellent chemical resistance, and long service life are essential. Our PTFE piston seal portfolio includes filled and self-lubricating formulations—bronze, carbon, graphite, MoS2 and glass-filled PTFE—designed to reduce wear and extend maintenance intervals while ensuring tight dynamic sealing under high pressure.
High-performance Materials
Each PTFE piston seal is manufactured using High Quality-filled PTFE compounds tailored to operating conditions. Whether you need improved thermal stability, abrasive wear resistance or anti-galling performance, our material options provide consistent low friction and dimensional stability. PTFE piston seal materials resist aggressive fluids and maintain sealing integrity across wide temperature ranges.
Custom Manufacturing & Sizes
Polypac specializes in customized sealing solutions. Our 10,000+ sqm production site and advanced equipment enable efficient production of bespoke PTFE piston seal geometries, tight tolerances, and small to large volume runs. We work with clients to optimize cross-sections, backup rings, and mating surface compatibility to achieve reliable performance in special working conditions.
Precision Production & Testing
Backed by long-term collaboration with universities and research institutes, Polypac applies scientific methods and rigorous testing to every PTFE piston seal. Our quality control includes dimensional inspection, material analysis and life-cycle testing to ensure each seal meets industry standards for hydraulic pressure, leakage rates, and wear resistance.
Applications & Industries
PTFE piston seal solutions from Polypac serve construction machinery, aerospace actuators, industrial hydraulics, oil & gas equipment and chemical processing. Their low friction and chemical tolerance make them ideal for reciprocating pistons, servo systems and high-speed cylinders where reliability matters.
Why Choose Polypac
Founded in 2008, Polypac combines decades of PTFE expertise with large-scale production capacity and cutting-edge testing. Our comprehensive materials range, customizable designs and customer-focused engineering support make Polypac the preferred partner for precision PTFE piston seal solutions.

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.
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.
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.
