Types of ASE Seals Used by the Chemical and Plastics Industries
Custom-Designed Ameriseal™ Seals
Custom-Designed Ameriseal Seals are specifically
engineered to fit customers’ application envelopes,
enabling them to perform efficiently, effectively and
reliably. Working with customers, ASE engineers
Ameriseal™ C-Seals
Ameriseal C-Seals help overcome both heat and
pressure pulsating sealing problems. Key to the
seal’s performance is the high spring back charac-
teristic due to the C-shaped construction. These
highly resilient seals can be used for internal,
external and axial pressures under extreme
conditions that preclude the use of gaskets
Ameriseal™ Spring Energized Seals
Ameriseal Spring Energized high-performance
seals have a temperature range from cryogenic to
2000˚F from 1x10-10 Torr vacuum to 100,000 PSI.
These 100,000 PSI pressure seals are normally not
affected by corrosion, radiation or other adverse
environmental conditions, provided the seal
material is compatible with the medium. It is a
self and pressure activated design. When the seal
Ameriseal™ O-Seals
Ameriseal O-Seals are used when elastomers and
other non-metallic seals will not seal properly or do
not offer the required reliability for the application,
usually as a result of temperatures, pressures,
or the environment. Ameriseal O-Seals are long
Ameriseal™ Boss Seals
Ameriseal Boss Seals are designed to handle high
pressures and temperatures for long service cycles.
They are designed to address advancements in
high performance molding that have resulted in
increased mold temperatures and high pressures.
These factors demand hydraulic systems that are

Leakage and loss of pressure caused by the degra-
dation of elastomeric or polymer based seals are a
problem and primary reasons for failure in hydraulic
systems. Ameriseal Boss Seals correct that situation,
ensuring the reliability of hydraulic systems.
