When it is said that an elastomer
is good for an application, it is meant
Rule of that some compounds which include
that elastomer are acceptable, not all.
Thumb For instance, some compounds of EP
are good for brake fluid applications,
but most are not acceptable.

Rule of Material cost does not correlate with
Thumb performance, it depends on the application.

APPLE RUBBER MATERIAL SELECTION GUIDE 9


Rule of You must test all seals in their
actual environment because
Thumb every application is unique.

PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING


The applications, suggestions and recommendations
contained in this book are meant to be used as a
professional guide only. Because no two situations or
installations are the same, these comments,
suggestions, and recommendations are necessarily
general and should not be relied upon by any purchaser
without independent verification based on the particular
installation or use. We strongly recommend that the seal
you select be rigorously tested in the actual application
