The properties of any application are vital in considering the right seal. From atmosphere considerations to fluid pressure, elastomer hardness and other variables, Vedovell offers you the following information to assist you with the selection of your seal.

The recommendations shown in this table are based on data supplied by Vedovell's polymer manufacturers and comparison made with similar materials. These are general guidelines, and users must conduct functional tests to determine the suitability of any compound for a particular application. To aid in your selection, materials are ranked in order of increasing cost, starting with Nitriles and ending with Fluoroelastomers.

R = recommended M = marginal U = unsatisfactory X = insufficient data			(1) = Fluid (2) = Nitrile (3) = SBR (4) = EPDM (5) = Neoprene (6) = Polyacrylate				(7) = Urethane (8) = Silicone (9) = Fluoroelastometer (10) = Fluorosilicone (11) = Aflas
