Physical Properties.

There are a number of physical properties you should consider when choosing an elastomeric compound for your shaft seal application. These include hardness, tensile strength, modulus, elongation, tear resistance, abrasion resistance, compression set resistance, and resilience. The extent to which these properties are present in a material has a huge impact on the material’s ability to function effectively as part of a shaft seal.
