TISTAM products deliver safe, reliable sealing performance in any application including oil pumping and cracking, gas compression, process gas containment, phase separation or synthesis of chemical substances, pipeline sealing, dairy product filling or compensation of temperature expansion in flue gas systems. Our challenge is to design seals that are able to withstand a wide range of media, different aggregate states and varying pressure and temperature and to provide special solutions for small installation up to seal contact areas of several meters. Every application has its own special requirements profile, and our job is to provide the best sealing solution.
Selecting the proper mechanical seal face material combination is crucial in providing every mechanical seal a prolonged seal life & eliminating any chances of a premature seal failure. TISTAM® Mechanical Seals offers an extensive variety of mechanical seal face materials and gladly offers experienced advice of which mechanical seal face materials are best suited for your exact operating conditions.

Tungsten carbide:
-Hard & heavy to the touch.
-Easy to distinguish from other materials.
-Ideal for high pressure applications with little face distortion.
-Applied into extreme debris mechanical seal enviroments.
Silicon Carbide:
-Hard & light to the touch.
-Much better lubrication qualities.
-Suited for chemical applications.
-Use for higher temperature sealing enviroments.
-It will shatter/crack if contacted with force or dropped.
Carbon graphite:
-Carbon Graphite is a self-lubricating.
-Generally used as a mechanical seal rotating face.
-Superior wear characteristics with a broad chemical resistance.
-For severe applications.
-Antimony Filled Carbon can be applied to assist with any mechanical seal face issues.
Ceramic:
-Excellent wear characteristics.
Chemical compatibility.
-Cannot handle thermal shocks.
-Retains heat when equipment is not operating.
-It will shatter/crack if contacted with force or dropped.
Ni Resist:
-A form of cast iron with a high nickel content.
-Lower the friction generated by the mechanical seal rotating face.
-Shows signs of wear earlier than Carbide seal faces.
-Ideal for Rotary Vane Screw Gas Compressors or Oil applications.
