Storage and Handling
Depending on the application, premium lip materials may need to be used, such as Ethylene-acrylic (Varmac®). This material features good abrasion and dry running capabilities, higher heat capabilities than nitrile and polyacrylate, and better low-temperature performance than polyacrylate.
Most ERIKS oil seals, such as the types M, MST, R and RST, are made of NBR as standard.
