When using these two products, it is obvious that there is a gap between them. By pulling or bending the wire, it is often difficult to restore the original, for example, if the same place is repeatedly bent, it will be found that it has broken, and the cold drawing wire will not. Cold drawing wire compared with iron wire, its hardness, tensile resistance, bending ability is greatly enhanced, suitable for building materials.

Oil seals are made from multiple compounds and materials. Some of the oldest, still in use today, are leather and felt compounds. The trend in mass production, however, has seen a move towards synthetic rubber or elastomers. Nitrile is by far the most popular material but developments in PTFE have created a surge of interest in buyers needing seals for high-speed shaft rotation applications. Viton is taking over from the polyacrylic and silicone, as it works better in high-temperature applications and has a high-resistance to abrasion and harmful chemicals.
