W hen O ur Lip Seals Jour ney Began Innovation Is Our Business OmniLip™ was introduced in the early 1970’s and DynaLip® was created in the late 1980’s. The seals were designed to bridge the gap between conventional elastomer lip seals and mechanical face seals. The ability to perform in hostile environments such as extreme temperatures, aggressive media, high surface speeds, high pressure and lack of lubrication are important features of Saint-Gobain Seals Group’s PTFE lip seals. They provide the designer with a signicant improvement in performance over elastomer lip seals while delivering value-added...

A C loser L ook at O ur Me tal- Cased Lip Seals Saint-Gobain Seals Group offers a complete line of OmniLip™ metal-cased lip seals, which can be manufactured from a variety of materials for PTFE and PTFE-blended sealing elements. OmniLip™ seals withstand hostile environments and other demanding conditions. They exceed the performance of elastomer lip seals in the following areas: Features/Benefits › Excellent chemical resistance › Low friction (leads to long life) › Capable of surface speeds in excess of 7,000 ft./min. (35 m/s) › Capable of handling wide temperature ranges: -65°F to 450°F (-53°C...

Our DynaLip® seals offer similar performance to our OmniLip™ seals in that they possess excellent chemical resistance and handle high pressure and temperatures. Based on our experience through the years, we have been able to assist our customers in determining when a DynaLip® seal would be more effective than an OmniLip™ seal. The soft surface of the seal’s outer diameter prevents damage of the housing and allows the seal to be easily installed and removed. These seals are used most often in applications that require seal removal in order to be changed or cleaned such as in medical or pharmaceutical...
