A better seal - The multi-lobed design provides more sealing surfaces than standard O-Rings.
Increases life for the seal ring - With multiple seal points, less squeeze is required to provide an effective seal. This means less friction and wear which will increase seal life and lower maintenance costs.
Prevents spiral failure - The square cross sections resist distortion called "spiral twist" that may be encountered when using O-Rings.
Puts parting lines where they belong - Unlike an O-Ring, where the parting line is found on the only sealing surface, the parting lines of Multiseal® low friction seals and X-Ring compression seals are located in the center of the cross section away from the primary sealing surfaces.
Better lubricant retention - The grooves on the inside and outside diameter of these rings retain lubricant thereby lowering friction and extending packing life.
Saves space, reduces cost - One Multiseal® low friction seal can replace two U-Cups in many applications.
Less force, better seal - Lower breakaway force and reduced operating pressures make them ideal in reciprocating applications.
The right fit - Multiseal® low friction seals will fit in standard O-Ring grooves
