Foreword
This edition of the Industrial shaft seals cataloguesupersedes the one published in 2006 (publi-cation number 5300). For this new edition,numerous revisions, additions and enhancements
have been made to provide an even more com-prehensive guide. Though the aim of this cata-logue is to cover a very wide seal assortment, itstill only includes a selection of our completeassortment of shaft seals and accessories.
The data in this catalogue may differ fromthat provided in earlier catalogues because ofredesign, technological developments or revisedmethods of calculation. SKF reserves the rightto make continuing improvements to SKF prod-ucts without prior notice with respect to materi-
als, design and manufacturing methods, as wellas changes necessitated by technologicaldevelopments.
Catalogue overview
In order to emphasize the importance of studyingthe operating conditions of each application be-fore selecting a sealing solution, this catalogueoutlines the most important factors to consider.These are provided in the chapter Product data– general , along with basic shaft and housing
bore requirements.SKF industrial shaft seals and accessories
are divided into three main groups: radial shaftseals, axial shaft seals and wear sleeves. Differ-ent seal types within these groups are describedwith their respective design, materials andapplications.
Product descriptions are followed by producttables. It should be noted, however, that thesetables only cover a selection of available sizes.Always contact your SKF sales representative for
complete and updated availability information.

Industrial shaft seals
Industrial shaft seals are used to seal the openingbetween a rotating and a stationary component,or between two components in relative motion.Primary seal functions include:
• Retain the lubricant• Exclude contaminants• Separate two different media• Seal under pressure
To be effective, industrial shaft seals shouldoperate with a minimum of friction and wear,even under unfavourable operating conditions.In order to meet the requirements of a variety ofdifferent applications and operating conditions,
SKF industrial shaft seals for rotating machinecomponents are manufactured from many dif-ferent designs, materials and executions. Eachof these designs and material combinations hasspecific properties, making them suitable for aparticular application. The main groups of shaftseals and accessories are:
Radial shaft seals
• Seals for general industrial applications• Seals for heavy industrial applications
• Cassette seals
Axial shaft seals
• Track pin seals• Metal face seals• V-ring seals• Axial clamp seals
Wear sleeves
• SKF Speedi-Sleeve• Wear sleeves for heavy industrial applications
Availability
The SKF assortment of industrial shaft sealscomprises hundreds of different designs andmaterial combinations. The products shown in
this catalogue and listed in the product tablesare the more commonly used seal types andsizes.
Guidance values
Since several factors simultaneously affect thesealing system and seal performance, all statedvalues in graphs and tables in this publicationshould be considered as guidelines only and notas absolute values for practical applications.

Selection of seal design andmaterialSelecting an appropriate seal design and materialdepends on the operating conditions of the
application such as:
• temperature• speed• pressure differential• type of lubricant• vertical or horizontal orientation• runout and shaft-to-bore misalignment
Because the influence of one operating con-dition typically dominates the seal selection
process, there are no universal rules for deter-mining the appropriate seal type or design fora given application. This section describes howoperating conditions affect seal performance andservice life and provides guidance on selectingthe most appropriate seal for a given application.
Matrix 1 and 2 on pages 90 to 91 and 198 to201 list the standard SKF radial shaft seals andtheir main features and permissible operatingconditions.
Grease retention
Greases have a relatively high viscosity and arerelatively easy to retain in a bearing arrange-ment. In many grease lubricated applications, anon-spring-loaded sealing lip design or a V-ringcan adequately retain the grease († fig. 1).
However, more demanding applications mayrequire HMS5 or CRW1 spring-loaded radialshaft seals († figs. 2 and 3).
When frequent relubrication is required, the
lip of at least one of the seals in the sealingarrangement should be directed toward the airside so that excess grease can escape via thesealing lip († fig. 3). This avoids grease build-up,which can retain heat and limit heat dissipation.For grease lubricated applications, SKF recom-mends calculating the permissible circumferentialspeed for oil and halving the result.

Oil retention
Lubricating oils, particularly relatively low-viscosity oils, are much more difficult to retainthan greases. Therefore, HMS5 or CRW1spring-loaded radial shaft seals († figs. 4 and 5)
are recommended in order to achieve the neces-sary radial load and resistance to dynamic runoutand shaft-to-bore misalignment for a satisfactorysealing performance.
Standard HMS5 seals have a straight lip whileCRW1 seals are designed with SKF Wave lips toprovide improved pumping ability, regardlessof the direction of shaft rotation († fig. 6 onpage 57). Another way of increasing a seal’spumping ability is to add a helix pattern, i.e.hydrodynamic features, to the sealing lip design.
The rubber outside diameter, like the onefound on HMS5 seals, helps compensate forsmall imperfections in the housing bore surfaceand is therefore recommended when the re-quired housing bore surface is questionable.
For very tough operating conditions, wherecircumferential speeds are relatively low, metalface seals, like the HDDF seal († fig. 6), can beused for both oil or grease retention.
V-rings († fig. 7) may also be used to retainoil, provided they are installed on the oil side
and supported axially on the shaft.

Contaminant exclusion
Radial shaft seals that are primarily used forcontaminant exclusion should be installed withthe lip pointing outward. When additional pro-tection is needed, SKF recommends a seal design
that incorporates an auxiliary lip, for example theHMSA10 or CRWA1 seals.For tough operating conditions, SKF Wave
seals († fig. 8) with hydrodynamic features arerecommended. To further enhance sealing ef-ficiency, two single-lip seals can be arranged intandem († fig. 9) or a double-lip seal, like theHDSE1 seal, can be used († fig. 10).
V-rings († fig. 11) are used primarily to ex-clude contaminants. These seals, which act asflingers, rotate with the shaft and seal against
a surface that is perpendicular to the shaft.V-rings and axial clamp seals are often usedas secondary seals to protect the primary sealsfrom coarse contaminants.
None of these seal arrangements are intendedfor oil retention.

Retention and exclusion
In many applications, the exclusion of contami-nants is just as important as lubricant retention.Seals with an auxiliary lip, like the HMSA10seals († fig. 12), are appropriate for these
applications.Another option is to use two seals installed inopposite directions († figs. 13 and 14) or twoopposing V-rings († fig. 15) with a spacingwasher.
Under extremely tough operating conditions,SKF recommends using HDDF metal face seals(† fig. 6 on page 18), provided that the slidingvelocity of the mating surfaces lies within thepermissible range.

Separating two liquids
When an application has to keep two liquidsfrom coming into contact with each other, thereare two suitable solutions. These solutions,which depend on the availability of space and
required efficiency, include:
• the use of two separate seals († figs. 16 and17), positioned with their lips facing in oppositedirections
• the use of HDSD1 double-lip seals († fig. 18)
In both alternatives, the sealing lips must bespring-loaded. When using an HDSD seal, it isvery important to provide a means to lubricatethe sealing lips, i.e. the cavity between the seal-
ing lips must be filled with grease prior to instal-lation or during operation via lubrication holesdrilled through the metal case into the cavity.

Circumferential and rotational speed
The permissible speed of a seal is determined byits design and sealing lip material as well as thematerial and condition of the shaft. All of thesefactors influence the heat generation at the seal
counterface. Lubrication of the sealing lip andthe characteristics of the lubricant also have adirect influence on heat generation becausethey have a direct impact on heat dissipation.

Pressure differentials
When subjected to a pressure differential, theseal must resist the additional radial load gener-ated by the pressure. If the seal is not designedto resist the pressure, it will be forced against
the shaft, increasing the radial load, underliptemperature, friction and wear of the seal andthe counterface, resulting in shortened servicelife.
Standard seals are rated for no more than0,07 MPa at 5 m/s (10 psi at 1 000 ft/min), butSKF offers CRW5 and CRWA5 pressure profileseals that can accommodate 0,34 MPa at 5 m/s(50 psi at 1 000 ft/min). Beyond 0,34 MPa(50 psi), SKF offers a line of special order PTFEseals that can accommodate more than 3,5 MPa
(500 psi).In applications with pressure differentials,shaft seals should be secured axially from thelow-pressure side to prevent them from movingaxially. This can be accomplished by installingthe seal into a counterbore († fig. 19) or byusing a retaining ring.

Limited space
In many cases, the available space is insufficientfor a radial shaft seal having dimensions inaccordance with ISO 6194-1 or DIN 3670. Inthese situations, special radial shaft seal designs
must be used († fig. 20).V-rings († fig. 21) are also suitable forapplications with limited space because theycan be positioned outside the actual seal pos-ition. V-rings seal axially by exerting light pres-sure against the counterface that can be astationary or rotating machine component.
In applications with large shaft diameters,HS8 seals are an appropriate choice when spaceis limited († fig. 22).

Installation restrictions
In applications where the seal cannot be installedvia the shaft end, a V-ring or any of the split HSFor HS designs can be used († pages 208 to210).
After being positioned on the shaft, HS andHSF seals are held together by a spring andspring connector. These seals should be retainedaxially in the housing bore by a one-piece or splitcover plate.
Split HS radial shaft seals are suitable for cir-cumferential speeds up to 7,5 or 10 m/s(1 480 or 1 970 ft/min), depending on theirdesign, and are available for shaft diameters upto approximately 4 570 mm (180 in.).
Since V-rings are elastic, they can be
stretched and are therefore easy to install, evenin applications where they have to be passedover other components († fig. 23). However,in the event that replacing a V-ring would requirethe time consuming removal of several compo-nents, it is advantageous to install one or tworeplacement V-rings on the shaft from the outset(† fig. 24). When the time comes to replace aworn V-ring, it can be cut and removed and thereplacement V-ring can be pushed into position.

Arrangement
Seals installed on vertical shafts are usuallymore exposed to contaminants like rain waterthan seals on horizontal shafts. Oil retention isalso more challenging for seals installed on ver-
tical shafts. In general, however, all seals listedin the product tables are suitable for use on bothhorizontal and vertical shafts.
V-rings († figs. 25 and 26) have an interfer-ence fit on the shaft and rotate with it. They actas flingers and are therefore particularly suit-able as both primary and secondary seals onvertical shafts. Highly efficient sealing arrange-ments, like those found in submersible pumps,can be achieved using radial shaft seals in tan-dem with a V-ring for additional protection
against contaminants († fig. 27).At relatively low speeds, HDDF metal faceseals († fig. 28) effectively retain grease or oiland prevent the ingress of contaminants onvertical shafts.

Counterface design
The service life and performance of a seal arelargely influenced by:
• shaft material and hardness•
shaft surface finish and tolerance grade• dynamic runout and shaft-to-bore
misalignment
A shaft surface that is too smooth can lead tolubricant starvation, while a shaft surface thatis too rough can accelerate sealing lip wear. Theshaft surface should be machined withoutdirectionality as directionality can cause leakagedepending on the direction of rotation. Dynamicrunout and shaft-to-bore misalignment cause
an uneven radial load on the circumference ofthe sealing lip. As a result, the sealing lip, par-ticularly at high speeds, will not be able to followthe shaft. This, in turn, will result in a gapbetween the sealing lip and the shaft, causingreduced sealing ability.
Unlike radial shaft seals, V-rings and axialclamp seals are not affected by normal coaxialitydeviations or runout.

Axial movement
Axial movement of the shaft relative to thehousing bore does not detract from the sealingability of radial shaft seals († fig. 29), providedthat the total surface in contact with the lip has
the same quality with respect to hardness andsurface finish.The amount of axial movement that can be
accommodated by V-rings, axial clamp seals andHDDF seals is limited by the permissible displace-ment of the seal relative to its counterface.

Seal materialsCases and inserts
Metal cases and reinforcements for SKF radialshaft seals are manufactured standard from
deep-drawn carbon sheet steel. The exposedsurfaces are treated to protect them from corro-sion during normal handling and storage.
SKF radial shaft seals that will be used in cor-rosive environments can also be designed witha stainless steel case on request.
Garter springs
The garter springs on SKF radial shaft seals aremanufactured standard from cold-drawn steel
wire. Exceptions are the metal-cased HDS seals,the all-rubber HS seals and the HMS5/HMSA10seals made from fluoro rubber that are designedwith stainless steel garter springs.
SKF Bore Tite Coating
SKF Bore Tite Coating is a water-based acrylicsealant available on most SKF metal-casedseals. The sealant is used as a coating on theoutside diameter of the seal. SKF Bore Tite
Coating is pliable with a thickness of 0,03 to0,07 mm (0.0012 to 0.0028 in.) to compensatefor small imperfections in the housing boresurface. The general guideline in Rubber Manu-facturers Association (RMA) is, that if the boresurface texture is greater than 2,5 µm (100 µin.) Ra, a sealant should be used. This sealant can beused at temperatures up to 200 °C (390 °F) andis compatible with most oils, greases, aqueousacids and alkalis, alcohols and glycols. Pleasenote that SKF Bore Tite Coating is not compatible
with aromatics, ketones or esters. Contact withthese substances will, however, have little or noeffect if wiped off quickly.
Adhesives and bonding agents
Adhesives and bonding agents are used toachieve static sealing ability and satisfactorybonding between metal and elastomers in sealdesigns. Both of them can be solvent or waterbased depending on the metal and elastomer to
be bonded.

Sealing lip materials
In addition to its design, the material of a sealinglip can have a significant impact on sealing per-formance and reliability. SKF, therefore, manu-factures seals using a variety of sealing lip ma-
terials to meet the needs of different applications.The sealing lips of SKF seals are generallymade of elastomer materials. However, thermo-plastics like polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) aregaining in importance. PTFE is mainly used forspecial seals intended for particular applicationswhere improved thermal or chemical resistanceis demanded.
SKF industrial shaft seals are generally manu-factured from the materials listed in table 1.These materials have characteristics that make
them particularly suitable for specific applications.By changing the actual formulation and blend-ing, it is possible to modify the characteristics ofthe elastomers relative to:
• resistance to swelling• elasticity• chemical resistance• thermal resistance• behaviour in the cold• gas permeability
Details about the chemical resistance of sealinglip materials to various media encountered inoperation are provided in the section Chemicalresistance, page 35.
A code is used to identify the sealing lip ma-
terial of SKF seals († table 1). The code alsoappears in the designations of metric radialshaft seals. For seals manufactured from acombination of materials, a combination of codeletters is used, like RD (nitrile rubber and SKFDuralip).

Nitrile rubber (R)
The term nitrile rubber is used in this publi-cation for acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber (NBR).This material has very good engineering prop-erties and is a general-purpose sealing lip ma-
terial. It is a copolymer manufactured fromacrylonitrile and butadiene that provides goodresistance to the following media:
• Most mineral oils and greases with a mineraloil base
• Normal fuels like gasoline, diesel and lightheating oils
• Animal and vegetable oils and fats and hotwater
Nitrile rubber also tolerates short-term dryrunning of the sealing lip. The permissible oper-ating temperature range of nitrile rubber is –40to +100 °C (–40 to +210 °F). For brief periods,temperatures of up to 120 °C (250 °F) can betolerated.
SKF also offers a special nitrile rubber com-pound with a temperature range between –55and +110 °C (–65 and +230 °F).
SKF Duralip (D)
SKF Duralip is a carboxylated nitrile rubber(XNBR) developed by SKF that combines thegood technical properties of nitrile rubber withan increased resistance to wear († diagram 2 on page 33). It is mainly used for seals for heavyindustrial applications. Seals made of this ma-terial should be chosen when abrasive contam-inants like sand, soil and scale could reach theseal counterface on the shaft.
SKF Duratemp (H)
SKF Duratemp is a hydrogenated nitrile rubber(HNBR) developed by SKF that combines thewear resistance of SKF Duralip with increasedhigh-temperature resistance († diagram 3 on
page 34). SKF Duratemp is also more resistantto chemical attack, weather, ageing and ozone.However, mixtures of oil in air may have a nega-tive effect. The upper operating temperaturelimit is 150 °C (300 °F), which is significantlyhigher than that of ordinary nitrile rubber. SKFDuratemp is mainly used for seals for heavy in-dustrial applications or where extended servicelife is required.

SKF Duralife1) (V)
The fluoro rubber (FKM) compound, SKF Duralife,has been developed by SKF and is characterizedby its very good wear, thermal and chemicalresistance. Its resistance to weather and ageing
from UV light and ozone is also very good and itsgas permeability is very slight.SKF Duralife has exceptional properties even
under harsh environmental conditions and canwithstand operating temperatures ranging from–20 to +200 °C (–5 to +390 °F). In applicationswith low dynamic runout, the temperaturerange can be extended down to –40 °C (–40 °F).SKF also offers special low-temperature fluororubber compounds on request.
SKF Duralife is also resistant to oils and hy-
draulic fluids, fuels and lubricants, mineral acidsand aliphatics as well as aromatic hydrocarbonsthat would cause many other seal materials tofail. Seals made of SKF Duralife can also toleratedry running of the lip for short periods. Theseals should not be used in the presence of es-ters, ethers, ketones, certain amines and hotanhydrous hydrofluorides. Because of the com-pound’s valuable properties, SKF manufacturesseals with sealing lips made of SKF Duralife forall common shaft diameters.
Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)
PTFE is a thermoplastic polymer that is compat-ible with a wide assortment of lubricants andfeatures chemical resistance that is far superiorto that of any other sealing lip material. PTFEhas a smooth, dirt-resistant surface. Seals withPTFE lips can accommodate high surface speedswhile offering extended service life. The sealscan tolerate dry running and are particularlyvaluable in highly contaminated applications
because of their excellent exclusion ability. PTFEis used for auxiliary seal elements or for primarysealing lips for special applications. For optimumperformance, PTFE seal elements require ahigh-quality seal counterface and extra careduring installation. The normal operatingtemperature range extends from –70 to +200 °C(–90 to +390 °F), but may go up to 250 °C(480 °F).
WARNING:At temperatures above 300 °C (570 °F),all fluoro elastomers and PTFE compoundsgive off dangerous fumes. This can occur,for example, if a welding torch is used whenremoving a bearing. Although the fumesare only produced at such high tempera-tures, once heated, the seals will be dan-gerous to handle even when they havecooled down. If it is necessary to handlePTFE or fluoro elastomer seals that havebeen subjected to the high temperaturesmentioned above, the following safetyprecautions should be observed:
• Protective goggles and gloves shouldalways be worn.
• The remains of seals should be put inan airtight plastic container marked“Material will etch”.
• Comply with the safety precautionsincluded in the material safety data thatcan be provided upon request.
If there is contact with your skin, thisshould be washed with soap and plentyof water. Wash your eyes with plenty ofwater if these materials get into your eyes.A doctor should always be consulted. Thisalso applies if the fumes have been inhaled.

Wear resistance
The wear resistance of a seal depends largely onthe sealing lip material, as well as on the shaftsurface finish, type of lubricant, circumferential
speed, temperature and pressure differentials.A comparison of wear resistance for varioussealing lip materials used by SKF is provided indiagram 2. It is valid for seals of the same size,operating under identical conditions.

Polyacrylate elastomer
Polyacrylate elastomers are more heat resistantthan nitrile rubber or SKF Duralip. The operatingtemperature range for polyacrylate elastomerslies between –40 and +150 °C (–40 and +300 °F)
and in some fluids the upper limit may be ex-tended to 175 °C (345 °F). Seals of polyacrylateare resistant to ageing and ozone and are alsosuitable for use with lubricants containing EPadditives. They should not be used to seal water,acids or alkalis etc. Dry running should beavoided.
Silicone rubber
Silicone rubber is characterized by high thermalresistance and can withstand temperatures
ranging from –70 to +160 °C (–90 to +320 °F).Silicone rubber absorbs lubricants, thereby min-imizing friction and wear. SKF silicone rubberseals are particularly suitable for applicationswith very low or very high temperatures and forlow-friction sealing of bearing arrangements.They are not very resistant to oxidized oils orcertain EP additives and should be protectedagainst abrasive substances. Sealing lips madeof silicone rubber should not be exposed to dryrunning.

Operating temperatures
Both low and high temperatures influence thesealing performance. At low temperatures, thesealing lip loses its elasticity and becomes hard
and brittle. Sealing efficiency decreases and theseal becomes more susceptible to mechanicaldamage.
For applications where temperatures are con-tinuously high, special high-temperature lipmaterials should be used, for example, PTFE orthe SKF fluoro rubber material, SKF Duralife.
Friction, circumferential speed, viscosity ofthe medium being sealed as well as the specificheat transfer along the shaft influence the tem-perature at the sealing position and the tem-
perature between the lip and lubricant film onthe counterface. High temperatures generallylead to a breakdown of the lubricant film, result-ing in insufficient lubrication, one of the mostcommon causes of premature seal failure.
The static sealing ability between the outsidediameter of the seal and the housing bore may
also be affected if these components are madeof different materials with significantly differentcoefficients of expansion and shrinkage.
Refer to diagram 3 to view the permissibleoperating temperature ranges of sealing lip
materials normally used by SKF.

Chemical resistance
In table 2, Chemical resistance († pages 36 to 43), information is provided regarding the re-sistance of SKF sealing lip materials to most of
the substances encountered in industrial appli-cations. The information is based on in-housetesting and the experience of users, as well asinformation from the suppliers of the variousmaterials. Unless otherwise stated, the infor-mation is valid for media of commercial purityand quality.
The chemical resistance of a seal is influencedby temperature, pressure and the amount ofmedia present. Other important factors to con-sider when selecting a suitable sealing lip material
include:
• type of service (static or dynamic)• circumferential speed of the sealing lip• shaft and housing materials• surface finish of the seal counterface
Because the above mentioned factors alsoinfluence the service life and performance ofthe seal, the information contained in the tableChemical resistance can only be considered as
a rough guide.

Storage and handling of sealsGeneral
The following guidelines for the storage andcleaning of seals are valid for natural and syn-
thetic elastomer materials and are in accord-ance with ISO 2230 and DIN 7716 standards.The storage guidelines set forth in DIN 7716are valid for long-term storage.
Unfavourable storage conditions and improperhandling can change the physical properties ofmost products made from natural or syntheticrubber. This can result in hardening or soften-ing, permanent deformation, peeling or cracks,which can lead to a shortened service life orrender the products altogether useless. These
changes can be brought about by storing theproducts under stress or load or from the influ-ence of oxygen, ozone, heat, light, moisture orsolvents. When stored properly, elastomer prod-ucts generally retain their properties for severalyears.
Storage
The storage area should be cool, dry, moderatelyventilated and there should be as little dust as
possible. Outdoor storage without protectionshould be avoided.
The appropriate storage temperature dependson the elastomer. The most favourable storagetemperature for synthetic rubber seals is 15 to25 °C (60 to 80 °F).
Elastomer products that have been subjectedto low temperatures during transport or storagemay become stiff. They should therefore bewarmed and kept at a temperature of at least20 °C (70 °F) before being unpacked and used in
order to prevent exposure to condensation.In heated storage rooms, the products should
be shielded from the heat source. There shouldbe at least 1 m (3 ft.) between the packages andthe source of heat. In rooms where a heaterwith a fan is used, the distance should be greater.Storage in damp rooms should be avoided be-cause of the risk of condensation. A storage fa-cility with relative humidity below 65% isexcellent.
Seals should be protected from light, particu-
larly direct sunlight or artificial light with a highproportion of UV radiation. Any windows in thestore should therefore be covered with a red or
orange coating (never blue). Ordinary light bulbsare preferred for illumination.
Seals should be wrapped or stored in airtightcontainers, protecting them from atmosphericchanges and particularly against drafts.
Because ozone is particularly damaging,steps must be taken to make sure that no ozoneis produced in the storage facility as the result ofusing electric motors or other equipment thatcan produce sparks or other electric discharges.Combustion fumes and vapours that can pro-duce ozone as the result of photochemical pro-cesses should be exhausted. For this reason,solvents, fuels, lubricants, chemicals, acids, dis-infectants etc. should not be stored in the sameroom as the seals.
Elastomer products should not be subjectedto tension, compression or other forms of loadduring storage as this can produce permanentdeformations and cracks. Seals should thereforenot be hung on hooks during storage. Certainmetals, especially copper and manganese, dam-age elastomer products. Contact with thesemetals should therefore be avoided and theseals should be covered with layers of paper orpolyethylene to prevent such contact.
In case it is necessary to repack the seals,
packaging and covering materials should notcontain substances such as copper or alloyscontaining copper, petroleum, oil etc. that cancause damage to the seals. The packagingmaterials should not contain softeners.
If the products are powdered, suitable powdersare talcum, chalk, finely divided glimmer andrice starch.
Seals made of different materials should notbe in contact with each other. This is particularlyimportant when the seals are different in colour
as this will avoid discolouration.Seals should be stored for the shortest period
of time possible. Where long-term storage is in-volved, care should be taken that newly arrivedproducts are kept separate from those alreadyin storage to enable use of seals on a first in,first out basis.

Cleaning and maintenance
In the event that cleaning is necessary, elasto-mer products should be cleaned with warm,soapy water that does not exceed 30 °C (85 °F),and air dried at room temperature.
Solvents such as trichloroethylene, carbontetrachloride or hydrocarbons should not beused, nor should sharp-edged objects, wirebrushes, emery cloth or sandpaper.
Elastomer/metal combinations can be cleanedusing a 1:10 mixture of glycerine and alcohol.
