Resilon D-Ring Seal: High-Performance Polyurethane Solution Extends Seal Life With One-Piece Design

Resilon® D-Ring Seal
High-performance polyurethane solution

extends seal life with one-piece design
Extended life and

easy installation:
Parker has combined its proprietary
polyurethane technology with a new
seal design to improve the sealing
performance and assembly of
hydraulic valves. Parker’s Resilon®
4300 polyurethane “D”-rings are a
one-piece, hydraulic valve sealing
solution which delivers longer life over
traditional multi-component seals.
Assembly is easy! The unique “D”-

ring shape provides sealing in critical
areas while reducing the chance of a
seal being cut during installation. This
unique seal design, when combined
with Parker’s proprietary high
performance Resilon polyurethane
extends seal life and reduces warranty
costs.

D-Ring Seal is a Problem Solver
Resilon® 4300 Polyurethane D-ring (DG Profile)
Parker’s Resilon 4300 polyurethane D-rings are a one-piece, sealing solution which delivers longer life and
reduced warranty costs over traditional multiple-component seals. The increased strength and resilience
of Resilon 4300 polyurethane eliminates the need for back-up rings and the challenges associated with the
rings folding over on a corner inside the manifold during assembly. Its sealing lip is minimized to reduce the
amount of friction between seal and bore while providing expected sealing performance The unique D-ring
shape provides sealing in critical areas while reducing the chance of a seal being cut during installation. The
“D” shape is symmetrical so there is no performance degradation as the valve cycles in the reverse direction
or concern of backward installation of the seal. The design also incorporates “pressure pedestals” to lessen
possibility of “blow-by,” common in reverse cycling.
Your Problem: Back-up and O-ring Seal Failure

Back-up and O-ring seal failure
• Back-up pinches during installation
• Nitrile and FKM seals wear out quickly
• O-ring rolls in the groove / spiral failure
Pesky back-ups and hard to install multi-piece seal

• Multi-component O-ring/back-up
• Worrisome placement of the O-ring and back-up. Is it
on the pressure side? Tank side?
• Inelastic PTFE back-ups are difficult to re-seat
PTFE back-ups are pinched and broken during
installation; leading to seal failure.
