OmniSeal® Face Seals

OmniSeal® face seals are designed for internal face or external face sealing applications. The majority of face seal applications are static. However, for dynamic face sealing applications, Saint-Gobain Performance Plastics has a wide selection of OmniSeal® product designs to meet the most challenging requirements.

OmniSeal® face seals are available in Industrial, Metric, JIS and custom gland sizes.

OmniSeal® 400A Face Seal

OmniSeal® 400A face seal is normally used as a dynamic seal. Due to its low spring loading, it is recommended for slow to moderate rotary speeds, low friction and low hardware clamping forces. Large cross sections and diameters are available.

OmniSeal® 103A Face Seal

OmniSeal® 103A face seal is recommended for most static sealing applications. OmniSeal 103A face seal may also be used in slow oscillatory or intermittent rotary service where seal friction is not critical. Available in all cross sections and diameters.

OmniSeal® APS Face Seal

OmniSeal® APS (Advanced Pitch Spring) face seal is recommended for dynamic sealing applications where seal friction is critical.  The APS spring utilizes a slant-coiled wire designed to provide the lightest load.  It has a unique characteristic in maintaining almost a constant load over a wide range of deflection.

OmniSeal® RACO® 1100A Face Seals

The OmniSeal® RACO® 1100A Face Seal is a rugged seal, recommended for extreme static sealing conditions such as those involving cryogenic fluids, ultra high vacuum and positive sealing of light gases. The RACO seal is also used dynamically in marine loading arm swivels and similar applications where high torque and clamping forces are employed. Larger cross sections and diameters are common with this seal design.  RACO 1100A series are available in internal or external face seal only.

OmniSeal® Fluoroloy® Jacket Materials

OmniSeal® products utilize Saint-Gobain Performance Plastics' Fluoroloy® trademarked materials for its seal jacket. Fluoroloy compounds are proprietary blends of premium PTFE resins and fillers, processed for optimum performance. They provide chemically-resistant, low-friction, longer wear life, high and low temperature capability to meet the most demanding applications.

OmniSeal® Special Seal Designs

For more than 30 years, Saint-Gobain Performance Plastics has dedicated its engineering efforts to solving difficult and unique sealing problems. From bi-directional seals, anti-blowout seals, to special formed seals, we have the experience and capability to provide custom seal designs to meet all of your application needs.

OmniSeal® Spring Energizer Materials

Saint-Gobain Performance Plastics has eight different designs of metal spring energizers for use in the OmniSeal® seals. Each spring design has unique characteristics in load and deflection range to meet all friction requirements while providing optimum sealing ability and seal life. OmniSeal products also employ other energizer types.
