At System Seals<\/span><\/span>, our Research and Development facility is dedicated to engineering advanced sealing materials and proprietary compounds that outperform standard materials. Our engineers develop custom-blended seal materials designed to perform reliably under specific fluids, pressures, temperatures, and demanding operating conditions unique to each application. Every new material undergoes rigorous validation in our on-site testing laboratory, where we replicate real-world operating environments to evaluate seal performance, durability, and compatibility. This testing process ensures our materials meet the highest standards for hydraulic sealing, fluid sealing, and industrial reliability. Through continuous innovation and testing, System Seals has developed several breakthrough sealing materials that have raised performance standards across multiple industries. Below is an overview of our core sealing materials, many of which can be custom engineered or blended to optimize performance for your specific application.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/section>

PA<\/p>\r\n

\r\n Polyamides <\/h2>\r\n
\r\n

Polyamides (PA) have amide functional group linkages \u2013CO-NH-. The amide group has strong affinity for hydrogen bonding with other amide groups and with water from the external environment. The two major commercial materials used in seal industries are PA 6 and PA 6,6. They differ by whether one or two raw material components are used in producing polyamides. In many aspects, they are interchangeable in applications. Both polyamide thermoplastics are flexible and allowing for easy crystallization. This capability is even enhanced by the strong affinity for polar amide groups of adjacent chain sections. Less amide content in the polymer means less tendency for polyamides to bind water. Polyamides lubrication can be further improved by incorporating molybdenum disulfide (MoS2). The mechanical strength of PA can be increased by reinforcement with glass fiber. PA articles are normally molded by injection, extrusion or compression processes.<\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n
