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.

For customers wanting to check SKF's oil seal cross compatibility with their largest competitor, National brand oil seals, please follow this link to access the National oil seal database provided by the Timken company.
Duralife Fluoroelastomers (Lip code: V) premium lip material offers the widest temperature range and chemical resistance as Duralife will handle temperatures from -40° ~ 400°F (-40° ~ 204°C). Fluoroelastomers resist most special lubricants and chemicals that can destroy nitrile, polyacrylates or silicones. This premium material, with its superior resistance to abrasion and high temperatures, provides superior performance and wear. Duralife works in dry running applications but only for intermittent periods. It must be noted that although fluoropolymers such as FKM and PTFE are classed as resistant to high temperatures, they will thermally degrade on exposure to extreme temperatures (FKM @ 600°F/316°C) and (PTFE @ 700°F/371°C) with the evolution of hazardous fumes containing hydrofluoric acid (HF). In the unlikely event of such a high temperature incident, allow the components in question to cool, douse with limewater (Calcium hydroxide solution), and handle with PVC gloves until neutral pH confirmed, then discard. 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
