Oil seals are protective elements. They prevent the mixing of water and lubricants within a machine, thereby ensuring optimal machine functionality. Also, oil seals help to prevent lubricant leakage at high pressure like when the machine is working at an extremely high rate. Not only that, radial shaft seals stop foreign components from entering a machine. This is because they can contaminate the lubricant and even damage the machine.

This is one of the frequent reasons for oil seal failure, and this is majorly because of the volatility of any of the elastomer’s constituents. These causative constituents may be part of the elastomer formulation, or gases that got entrapped in the elastomer during the molding process. The deceiving fact about this failure is that sometimes the oil seal won’t show any visual sign of out-gassing, however, sometimes when the out-gassing is extreme, they shrink.

Oil seals made of HNBR are characterised by excellent properties that include high resistance to mineral oils with additives, low steam and gas permeability, good cold flexibility down to -30 °C depending on type, good ozone resistance and friction resistance. HNBR seals withstand heat up to 150°C.
Even though it’s better than other materials in terms of toughness and wear time, it is preferably used in dry-running applications. The salient demerit of this material is its cost.
In conclusion, the A7TJC spark plug is a testament to the importance of selecting the right ignition component for your vehicle. Its specialized design, coupled with advanced materials and engineering, ensures reliable ignition, improved efficiency, and a smoother ride. It is a small but critical piece in the intricate puzzle of engine performance, playing a vital role in keeping your vehicle running at its best.
