OZ SEALS releases the Oz Ultra Performance Polymer, a heavy duty polyurethane seal.
More flexible than the existing Oz Super Red Polymer, Oz Seal says the Oz Ultra Performance Polymer is designed for use in heavy duty hydraulic applications requiring high levels of precision positioning.
The material is made using Oz Seals’ proprietary Poly4-component processing plant. Oz Seals says the new seal is ideal for applications that require high levels of precision, such as simulators, earthmoving, food manufacture processing, building and motor vehicle equipment. The material offers outstanding durability when compared with rubber, plastics and even metals.
Oz Seals says the Oz Ultra Performance Polymer can lower maintenance costs and increase productivity by reducing the frequency of seal changes. The material works in temperatures from -20 to 120°C, remains flexible at low temperatures and has a shelf life of around 30 years. The material also exhibits high pressure resistance of up to 500 bar. Hardness is 95+ to -2 Shore A.
Other properties include high extrusion resistance, high chemical and abrasion resistance and excellent hot water resistance. The non-absorbent material will also resist ozone, hydrolysis and ultraviolet exposure.
