OmniSeal® Innovation Is Our Business OmniSeal® PTFE rotary lip seals were introduced in the early 1970's and DynaLip® seals were 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 OmniSeal® PTFE lip seals. They provide the designer with a significant improvement in performance over elastomer lip seals while delivering...

A Closer Look at Our Metal-Cased Lip Seals Saint-Gobain Seals offers a complete line of OmniSeal® metal-cased lip seals, which can be manufactured from a variety of materials for PTFE and PTFE-blended sealing elements. OmniSeal® lip 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 to...

A Closer Look at Our PTFE Lip Seals Our DynaLip® seals offer similar performance to our OmniSeal® lip 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 OmniSeal® lip 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...
