The Turcon® Variseal® uses a PTFE-based material that directly replaces slipper seals and O-rings in standard grooves in aerospace applications. It resists extreme temperatures, aggressive aerospace fluids, such as synthetic hydrocarbon, petroleum base, phosphate ester, and all types of aviation jet fuels. Additionally, its low coefficient of friction increases sealing load. The seal is specially […]
