Replacement Piston Seals — Polypac Precision & Durability
Why Choose Polypac Replacement Piston Seals?
Polypac is a scientific and technical hydraulic seal manufacturer and oil seal supplier with a proven track record delivering high-performance replacement piston seals. Founded in 2008, our commitment to innovation and quality ensures you receive seals engineered for longevity, low friction, and reliable sealing under pressure. Whether you need off-the-shelf sizes or tailored designs, Polypac combines industry expertise with commercial value to reduce downtime and total lifecycle costs.
Advanced Materials & Custom Compounds
We manufacture replacement piston seals using advanced materials, including bronze-, carbon-, graphite-, MoS2- and glass-filled PTFE, plus a broad elastomer portfolio—NBR, FKM, silicone, EPDM and FFKM. These options let us optimize hardness, chemical resistance, temperature tolerance and wear characteristics for each application. Our material development capabilities mean custom compounds are available for special media and extreme environments.
Precision Manufacturing & Rigorous Testing
Polypac’s custom rubber ring and O-ring factory spans over 10,000 square meters with 8,000 square meters of production space, and houses industry-leading production and testing equipment. Every batch of replacement piston seals undergoes dimensional inspection, hardness checks, and performance testing to ensure consistent sealing performance. Our close collaboration with universities and research institutions supports continuous improvement and compliance with global standards.
Designed for Harsh Conditions & Wide Applications
Our replacement piston seals are engineered for hydraulic cylinders, mobile equipment, industrial presses, marine actuators and other systems operating under high pressure, abrasive media, fluctuating temperatures and aggressive chemicals. With tailored sealing profiles and material selections, Polypac seals maintain sealing integrity, minimize leakage and extend component life even in the most demanding service conditions.
Customization, Support & Fast Delivery
Polypac specializes in custom sealing solutions: from prototype tooling to full-scale production runs. Technical support is available for material selection, dimensional drawings and installation guidance. As one of China’s largest seal manufacturers, we provide competitive lead times, reliable quality control and global logistics to ensure your replacement piston seals arrive on time and perform as specified.

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.
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.
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.
