Sealrite POJ by South Eastern Gaskets offers cost-effective, reliable sealing for engines, gearboxes, and more in automotive industry applications.
Reliable sealing solutions are essential in automotive engineering to maintain performance, longevity, and safety. The quality of gaskets directly affects the integrity of components such as engines, gearboxes, and oil systems. Sealrite POJ (Paper Oil Jointing) offers a cost-effective and dependable sealing option, delivering high performance across a wide range of automotive applications.
Overview of What Paper Oil Jointing (POJ) Is
Paper Oil Jointing, commonly abbreviated as POJ, refers to a specialised type of gasket material composed primarily of cellulose fibres and fillers, impregnated with sealing agents such as rubber or resin. This construction provides the material with enhanced strength, oil resistance, and compressibility. Unlike some synthetic alternatives, POJ materials are flexible and conform well to irregular surfaces, making them ideal for forming tight seals in complex engine assemblies. As a widely used material in the automotive and mechanical industries, POJ serves as an economical solution for sealing oil, fuel, water, and other fluids under moderate pressure and temperature conditions.
Why Choose Sealrite POJ Over Traditional Gaskets?
Sealrite POJ provides a reliable, versatile, and cost-efficient alternative to traditional gaskets like rubber, cork, and composites. Its excellent oil resistance and compression recovery contribute to longer service life and reduced maintenance. Easy to fabricate and customise, it is a preferred choice for manufacturers seeking performance without high costs.
