মানুষ আরও জিজ্ঞাসা করে

1. What’s the difference between an O-ring and oil seal?
O-rings are simple round seals; oil seals have lips for dynamic shaft sealing.
2. What is the most chemical-resistant sealing material?
PTFE is the gold standard for aggressive chemical resistance.
3. Do you provide seals with OEM part numbers?
Yes, we can cross-reference and produce OEM-equivalent seals — fast and accurate.
4. What’s the shelf life of rubber seals?
Typically 5 years in ideal storage; PTFE and silicone last longer.
5. Can I get FDA-certified seals for food applications?
Absolutely. We offer FDA-grade silicone and EPDM O-rings.
6. What are the most common O-ring size standards?
AS568 (inch) and ISO 3601 / DIN 3771 (metric) are globally used.
7. How can I find out what type of seal I have?
Send us the ID/OD/width and a photo — we’ll identify and match it.
8. What’s the best kit for workshop use?
আমরা সুপারিশ করি inch + metric assortment kits for repair or resupply.
