Leather Seals

Leather oil Seal for Automotive and Industrial Equipment

Independence Seal specializes in manufacturing custom leather seals, offering robust sealing solutions with a mild carbon steel (CRS) or 304 stainless steel and a leather lip element. Leather lip seals are particularly valued for their natural flexibility, resilience, and ability to conform to sealing surfaces, making them ideal for a wide range of uses. These seals provide excellent performance in applications involving low to moderate pressures, especially where a traditional rubber seal might not be suitable. Leather’s properties, including its ability to swell slightly in the presence of oils, enhance the seal’s effectiveness by creating a tighter fit.
