Radial shaft seals with one or more PTFE sealing lip(s) are designed to withstand aggressive environments, high temperatures, high pressures and dry running that traditional radial shaft seals made of elastomeric sealing lip materials cannot withstand. Many of the PTFE compounds are FDA approved. Main advantages of PTFE seals include: High chemical resistanceWithstand speeds up to 30 ms (5 900 ftmin)Wide operating temperature range, 70 to +250 C (95 to +480 F)Withstand pressures up to 3, 5 MPa (500 psi)Withstand dry running
