Where loads are light, the outer skin layer can be made of silicone. It can be made of Fluroelastomer (orViton) to protect under high temperatures (more than 120 degrees Celcius). The skin can also be made of Poly Acrylate or Polytetra-FluroEthylene.

Furthermore, the 30-50-10 oil seal is designed to withstand prolonged use and harsh operating conditions. This makes it suitable for a wide range of applications, including automotive, industrial, and agricultural machinery.

As can be seen from the seal cross-section shown in Fig. 14.2, shaft seals are complex shapes that require advanced mold design and molding techniques (see Section 7.3 for discussion of fluoroelastomer molding). For some time, most shaft seals were made in the United States by compression molding. Injection molding of shaft seals is prevalent in Europe, and is being used increasingly in the United States. An advantage of compression molding is that preforms (usually rings cut from extruded tubing) are used that closely approximate the amount of stock required for the final parts, so compound waste is minimized. For injection molding, the amount of cured stock in the central sprue and runner (actually a thin sheet leading to the seal lip) is often large compared to the stock required for the final part, so the waste of high-cost fluoroelastomer may be high. Such waste is reduced in modern injection molding designs.

Oil seals are typically classified based on their sealing capabilities, with common types including lip seals, mechanical seals, and hydraulic seals. Lip seals are the most basic type, consisting of a flexible lip that seals against the shaft. Mechanical seals use sliding or rotating components to create a seal, while hydraulic seals are designed for high-pressure applications.
