MYR (Multi-Year) series represents a paradigm shift in sealing longevity, engineered to deliver 5-10 years of continuous, maintenance-free operation in standard industrial applications. Through predictive material science and time-compensating design, MYR seals fundamentally redefine service intervals and reliability expectations.
Temporal Reinforcement: Fiber alignment optimized for progressive load distribution over years
Aging Compensation: Built-in material expansion counters natural elastomer shrinkage
UV/Ozone Resistant Core: Multi-layer protection against environmental degradation
Progressive Lip Angle: Self-adjusting contact profile maintains optimal pressure across lifespan
Wear-Compensating Design: Material migration from non-contact areas to wear zones
Memory Polymer Elements: Return to original geometry after temporary deformations
