The High-Performance Shaft Seal

The thermoelastic high-performance seal Multi-Seal is an alternative for mechanical seals and braided packings.


The thermoelastic high-performance seal TEDIMA MultiSeal operates with a seal lip of a modified PTFE material with stopped cold flow. This material is produced in a special process under the brand name ‘TEDEX’. Seal lips made of TEDEX have a considerable memory effect, high elasticity, low friction, high wearing quality and do not need a metallic spring element.

TEDIMA high-performance MultiSeals are especially produced to ensure a reliable seal for rotating shafts with high pressure, high peripheral speed, high temperature, aggressive media, poor lubrication or dry running. With these applications, conventional radial shaft seal rings are not an ideal option because of the Elastomer material of their seal lips.
