PTFE & Carbon Fiber Spring - Energized Seals: Superior Sealing Performance
Engineered for Excellence with PTFE and Carbon Fiber Blend
Our spring energized seals, made with PTFE and carbon fiber composite, excel in tough sealing scenarios across oil and gas, aerospace, and industrial sectors. The PTFE offers strong chemical resistance, low friction, and wide temperature adaptability (-200°C to 260°C), while carbon fiber boosts strength, wear resistance, and stability—avoiding issues like deformation or early wear.
Equipped with an integrated spring energizer, these seals keep steady contact pressure for leak-tight performance in both static and moving applications. They work reliably in high-pressure, corrosive, or extreme-temperature environments, cutting maintenance needs and extending equipment life, all while meeting strict quality standards for consistent performance.

1. Product Advantages
- Exceptional Durability: The PTFE base resists corrosion, chemical erosion, and extreme temperatures ranging from -200°C to 260°C. Carbon fiber reinforcement further enhances mechanical strength, reducing wear and extending service life by 30% compared to standard seals.
- Leak-Tight Performance: Integrated spring energizers maintain consistent contact pressure, ensuring zero leakage even in dynamic scenarios (such as reciprocating or rotating motions) or high-pressure environments (up to 50 MPa).
- Low Maintenance: The smooth PTFE surface minimizes friction, lowering equipment wear and reducing both maintenance frequency and long-term costs for end-users.
- Dimensional Stability: Carbon fiber prevents deformation caused by thermal expansion or pressure changes, ensuring a precise fit with mating components for reliable performance over time.
2. Working Principle
Forever Seals’ spring energized seals rely on two core components to achieve reliable sealing.
First is the sealing element—a composite of PTFE and carbon fiber that forms the primary barrier. This element conforms closely to mating surfaces to block fluid or gas leakage.
Second is the spring energizer, typically made of corrosion-resistant 316 stainless steel (available in wave, cantilever, or coiled designs). It provides constant radial force: when pressure fluctuates or the seal wears slightly, the spring pushes the composite element against the mating surface, maintaining tight contact and compensating for wear.

3. Product Details
The seals feature a material composition of PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) blended with high-modulus carbon fiber, with the carbon fiber content ranging from 15% to 20% to balance flexibility and strength. They operate within a wide temperature range, from -200°C (-328°F) to 260°C (500°F), and handle pressure capacities up to 50 MPa (7,250 psi). The friction coefficient is ≤0.1 during dry operation, ensuring smooth interaction with mating parts. The spring energizer is constructed from 316 stainless steel for corrosion resistance, suitable for harsh environments. In terms of sizing, the seals are available in standard dimensions that comply with ISO/DIN standards, and can also be customized to specific requirements based on customer-provided drawings.
4. Application Range
Forever Seals’ PTFE + carbon fiber seals are engineered for harsh and precision-critical industries.
- Oil & Gas: Ideal for downhole tools, wellhead equipment, and pipeline valves, as they resist crude oil, drilling fluids, and corrosive gases common in the sector.
- Aerospace & Defense: Suitable for hydraulic systems, fuel lines, and engine components, tolerating the extreme temperature fluctuations and pressure changes of aerospace environments.
- Industrial Manufacturing: Used in pumps, compressors, and chemical reactors, capable of handling acids, solvents, and high-temperature media in industrial processes.
- Medical & Pharmaceutical: Applied in sanitary valves and fluid handling systems, as the PTFE material meets FDA standards for safe contact with food and medical-grade fluids.
5. FAQ
Q1: Can the seal withstand aggressive chemicals like strong acids or alkalis?
A1: Yes. The PTFE base is chemically inert to most substances, including hydrochloric acid (HCl), sulfuric acid (H2SO4), and sodium hydroxide (NaOH), making it suitable for chemical processing applications.
Q2: Are custom sizes available for non-standard equipment?
A2: Absolutely. Forever Seals offers custom machining services based on customer-provided 2D or 3D drawings, with a lead time of 5-7 business days for small-batch orders.
Q3: How long does the seal typically last in continuous operation?
A3: Under normal operating conditions (within the specified temperature and pressure limits), the service life ranges from 2,000 to 5,000 hours, depending on the intensity of the application.
Q4: Is the seal compatible with both liquid and gas media?
A4: Yes. It provides reliable sealing for liquids (such as oils, solvents, and water) and gases (including air, nitrogen, and natural gas) without any degradation in performance.
