Power & Propulsion

Our engineers are at the forefront of engine sealing technology, developing high temperature seals for large bore diesel and gas engines, for marine propulsion and power generation.

We manufacture engine sealing components for:

Liner rings (up to 2000mm diameter)

Fuel: MDO, HFO, biofuels and gas

HP injectors

High temperature exhaust valve seats

Sump, access covers, and rocker covers

Cylinder joints

Turbochargers

Lubrication oil

PPE seals are specified on 2 and 4 stroke engines, both small and large capacity.

Engine sealing benefits

PPE’s specialist sealing engineers understand the pressures manufacturers and operators are under in the marine, diesel and power-gen sectors, to generate better performance and achieve the best possible equipment reliability. Our innovative elastomer sealing materials and products are developed with these demands in mind.

Seal failure in marine and power engines can have catastrophic results. PPE’s range of high performance elastomers have been engineered to deliver long-term resistance to specific challenges found in engine sealing.

When seals within an engine are effective, less energy is wasted – which allows the engine to achieve better fuel economy. PPE sealing components are designed to prevent engine wear and tear, and reduce friction to translate fuel into motion more efficiently.

Unscheduled maintenance and repair events can be incredibly costly. PPE sealing materials are at the cutting edge of material science for performance and reliability, delivering a ‘fit and forget’ sealing solution which will outlast and outperform.

Emission reduction is important from regulatory, legal, and health and safety standpoints. Better sealing reduces these dangerous emissions significantly, improving fuel efficiency, and safeguarding the health of communities in which we live and work.

PPE Material Brands

Elastomers typically offered for these applications include Perlast® perfluoroelastomers (FFKM), FKM, EPDM, NBR, HNBR, and silicone (VMQ).

The ultimate perfluoroelastomers for sealing applications where chemical resistance and high temperature performance are critical.

Products for engine sealing

PPE offers a complete range of engineered solutions for engine sealing requirements, including:

Elastomer O-Rings

Fully molded elastomer O-rings for critical sealing applications. Standard and custom sizes available.

Large Diameter O-Rings & Seals

Large diameter O-rings manufactured in sizes up to 2.5 metres (8ft) outer diameter, with no joined or spliced ends.

D-Rings

D-rings prevent twisting, rolling and spiral failure often seen when O-rings are used in reciprocating applications.

Lip Seals

Energized lip seals comprise of a high modulus elastomer jacket and a low modulus elastomer O‑ring energizer.

Custom Seals

PPE designs and manufactures custom molded rubber parts and bespoke engineered components to meet any sealing requirement.
