The company¡¯s proprietary Avalon PTFE, Arlon PEEK, and elastomer materials ensure high durability and minimal wear over the lifetime of an aircraft. Greene Tweed¡¯s proprietary materials exceed the low-temperature performance requirements set forth by aviation industry standards without sacrificing high-temperature performance. </p><p><br/></p><p>Greene Tweed¡¯s L-Cap seal also delivers unmatched leak prevention, exceeding customer requirements for minimizing hydraulic fluid leakage. In addition, L-Cap seals are easier to install than other aviation rod seals, thereby reducing actuation system failures upon initial startup.</p><p><br/></p><p>Greene Tweed¡¯s durable L-Cap seals function well in single- or dual-seal hydraulic cylinders and are designed to mitigate the pressure trap that can occur in dual-seal systems by enabling pressure relief, all without a complicated or costly seal design.</p><p><br/></p>
