Robust Dust Seal — Polypac High-Performance Dust Seals
Robust Dust Seal — Engineered Dust Protection by Polypac
Overview
Polypac's Robust Dust Seal line is designed to protect critical components from particulate ingress in harsh working environments. Leveraging 15+ years of sealing expertise, our dust seals combine proven geometries with advanced elastomers and engineered composites to provide reliable barrier protection for hydraulic cylinders, rotary shafts, and reciprocating systems.
Materials & Manufacturing
We manufacture Robust Dust Seal products using a wide range of materials including NBR, FKM, EPDM, silicone, and specialty filled PTFE (bronze, carbon, graphite, MoS2, glass). Our 10,000+ m2 facility and state-of-the-art molding, machining, and testing equipment ensure consistent dimensional accuracy and material performance across production runs.
Performance & Testing
Polypac dust seals are engineered for durability, low friction, and resistance to abrasion, oils, and temperature extremes. Each Robust Dust Seal undergoes rigorous inspection and functional testing to evaluate wear resistance, sealing efficiency, and lifecycle under representative conditions — ensuring predictable field performance and reduced maintenance cycles.
Customization for Special Conditions
Many applications demand tailored solutions. Polypac provides custom profiles, compound formulations, and finishing options to meet specific operating pressures, speeds, and contamination profiles. Our R&D partnerships with universities and research institutes accelerate material development for unique or aggressive environments.
Applications
Robust Dust Seal solutions are ideal for construction and mining equipment, agricultural machinery, industrial hydraulics, and any application where particulate exclusion extends component life. Designed to integrate with standard seal kits and custom assemblies, they help prevent seal failure and equipment downtime.

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.
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.
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.
