Every time we switch batches of mechanical seal strips, they leak; once installed, they start seeping oil. The mechanical seal strips were not chosen correctly for temperature resistance and compression, so the sealing component is prone to leaks.

Leaks with every new batch, and it seeps oil once installed.

Mechanical sealing strips are 'components for sealing and vibration reduction': temperature-resistant, compressible, and sealing. The material should be temperature-resistant, have good compressive resilience, and provide sealing — conclusion first: TPV is mainstream for mechanical sealing strips; for light sealing, SEBS-based materials offer a higher cost-performance ratio.

The biggest trap of mechanical sealing strips: the promised performance is revealed as false as soon as a new batch arrives. When the batch changes, the performance is exposed — the batch is the integrity test of sealing strips.

Mechanical sealing strips are functional components: leakage and deformation are problems. Choosing the right material ensures equipment stability—functional components, don't skimp on material costs.

Why use TPV for sealing strips

Reasons for using TPV for mechanical seal strips: good temperature resistance, good compression rebound, good sealing, long service life—together, these four reasons make it suitable for seal strips.

Temperature resistance is key: ambient temperature. Temperature resistance testing should be included in the acceptance criteria—deformation equals a problem.

Compression cannot be reduced: compression rebound. Permanent deformation test of compression should be included in acceptance — leakage is a problem.

Sealing temperature compression, three barriers

Sealing condition: gap sealing. Sealing data must be verified—leakage is a problem.

Temperature working condition: ambient temperature. Temperature resistance data must be tested — deformation is the problem.

Compression condition: repeated compression. Rebound data must be checked—collapse is the problem.

Table interpretation: TPV has good heat resistance and rebound but is expensive; SEBS-based has high cost-performance — heavy-duty sealing uses TPV, lightweight uses SEBS-based.

Select according to working conditions: heavy-duty TPV, light SEBS base.

How to read the table: Batch after batch is retested, whether performance is exposed can be seen — the first batch meeting the standard doesn't count; only after three consecutive batches are retested is it stable.

A batch is the integrity certificate of the sealing strip.

The first batch as a sample batch, three pits

Pitfall 1: The first batch as the sample batch. If the sample batch is good but the mass production drifts, the sealing strips will leak during assembly — the batch must be checked.

Pitfall 2: Missed temperature resistance test. Deformation — temperature resistance test, must be checked.

Pitfall 3: Overstated compression. Leakage — compression accepted based on actual measurement.

Select the sealing strip material after batch approval

Three questions: What is the temperature resistance, how much is the compression rebound, and are the batch records complete? One inspection: Actual working condition measurement — with three questions and one inspection, the supplier's details are clear.

Batch verification must come first: the rebound pressure and resilience of three consecutive batches should be retested before increasing the volume. First verify the batch, then discuss the price—the batch is a testament to the integrity of the sealing strips.

Making sample retention a habit: retain samples for each batch, and re-test temperature and compression by batch. When changing material for a batch, compare first before scaling up — stable batches lead to fewer customer complaints.

The mainstream sealing strip is TPV, Shore A 65-80, and the compression is designed according to a gap of 15%-25%. If the compression is not calculated based on the gap, too much or too little compression will cause leakage — set the compression according to the sealing gap.

TPV has temperature-resistant compression volume, SEBS-based light seals offer high cost-performance. Industrial temperature-resistant TPV, light sealing SEBS — choose according to temperature and load.

As soon as you switch batches, problems are exposed. First, check the formula window and the sealing surface condition, don't blame the first batch of samples. If the formula isn't locked and the sealing surface has burrs, the performance will fluctuate with each batch—retest batch by batch.

Seal strip acceptance: compression rebound, temperature aging resistance, and sealing surface fitting three-piece set. Compression amount is designed according to the gap, and each batch is written into the contract for batch-by-batch verification.

Rematching the substrate improves wear resistance and cuts the rework rate in half, ensuring the surface of the seal strip no longer gets scratched. Samples from each batch are tested for compression and wear resistance, and material changes between batches are compared before scaling up.

Sealing strips are selected based on temperature load: industrial temperature-resistant TPV, lightweight sealing SEBS. TPV withstands temperature and compression in large volumes; if issues arise with the first batch, first check the formulation window and the sealing surface condition before blaming the first sample.

The compression amount is designed according to the gap and written into the contract by batch for review batch by batch. Compression rebound and temperature aging are tested together as a set of three, and if the sealing surface has burrs, performance fluctuates every time the batch is replaced.

Each batch is sampled for compression and wear resistance testing.

The compression amount is designed according to the gap, and each batch is written into the contract and reviewed batch by batch. Samples of each batch are tested for compression and wear resistance; if the sealing surface has burrs, performance fluctuates with each batch change, so the formula window is locked first.

Once the batch of sealing strips is changed, defects appear, first check the formulation window. For industrial high-temperature resistant TPV light sealing SEBS, select according to temperature load, and deburr the sealing surface based on compression amount and gap design.

Write batches into the contract for batch-by-batch review, with samples retained from each batch for compression and wear resistance testing.

A sample of each batch of sealing strips is kept for testing compression and wear resistance, and the batch number is written into the contract for batch-by-batch verification. The formulation window is not locked, and the sealing surface has burrs; when changing batches, performance fluctuates, and compression is designed according to the gap.

Cologne Customer Case: Wear resistance fails quickly with poor grinding, rework on matching substrates halved

An industrial equipment factory in Suzhou had mechanical sealing strips that failed the wear resistance test, and the surface wore out quickly. Cologne collaborated to rematch the rubber-coated substrate and processing temperature, improving wear resistance and halving the rework rate. Only when the substrate was properly matched was the wear resistance sufficient — for wear resistance issues, first check the substrate and temperature.

Summary

When selecting mechanical seal strips, check the batch first, compress and then test. The promised performance fails as soon as the batch changes; the batch is a true test of integrity.
