Product Description
Click this link for an online tool that offers three different ways of selecting and accessing SKF's large selection of seals. There is an interchange equating SKF oil seals to competitors part numbers, another feature is the ability to identify a seal by user inputed dimensions, and lastly one can simply enter a known SKF seal number to see its cross section profile and lip design.

Silicone (Lip code: S) lip material is typically selected for high/low temperature ranges and low-friction applications. Silicone seals can operate at temperatures ranging from -100° ~ 325°F (-73° ~ 163°C). The high lubricant absorbency of silicone minimizes friction and wear; however, it has poor compatibility with oxidized oils, some extreme pressure additives and abrasive contaminants. Silicone should not be used in dry running applications. Please refer to pages 6A thru 15A in attached PDF catalog for chemical compatibility charts listed in alphabetical order
Bore-Tite® is a green tinted water based acrylic polymer. This green pliable sealant is applied to the outer case of select SKF seal part numbers and helps fill small imperfections in the housing bore when the seal is pressed into posistion. Bore-Tite® can withstand heat up to 400°F (204°C). It is resistant to most oils, greases, gasoline, mild acids, mild alkalis, aliphitics, salts and glycols. Bore-Tite® is NOT recommended with aromatics, ketones and alcohols; however splash contact that is wiped off will have little or no effect. The Bore-Tite® coating is .001 ~ .003" (.025 ~ .076 mm) thick but is not accounted for in the seals specified outer diameter
