One of the primary factors influencing the price of oil seals is the cost of raw materials. Oil seals are typically made from a combination of rubber, plastics, and metals, all of which have their own price volatility. For instance, the cost of synthetic rubber can change dramatically based on the price of crude oil, as it is a petroleum-based product. When oil prices rise, manufacturers may face higher production costs, which they often pass on to consumers. Furthermore, geopolitical tensions or natural disasters can disrupt the supply chain, leading to increased raw material costs and, subsequently, higher oil seal prices.



Unlike spray-on rust prevention coatings that only cover exposed surfaces, hot dip galvanization coats the outside, inside and underside of the dipped pieces. The biggest problem with lower end spray coatings is that the pieces will often rot from the inside out and by the time you see it, the piece is already ruined. Look for specifics on how the pieces are treated to prevent rust. Our Stronghold Iron line utilizes a hot dip galvanization, a 4-stage chemical wash and then use a TGIC poly-based powder coating with UV fade inhibitors to protect our pieces.
