Your question cannot really be answered.

I was a Distributer for "PARKER O-Rings & Seals".

During all those years we never received a single defective seal or O-ring.

Seals and O-rings are designed out of different materials in order to have the maximum life in a certain application.

90% of seal failures were due to: Improper installation; fluid incompatibility; gross contamination, (dirt); or heat.

The other 10% was just plain wear after years of service.

If you are having problems with seals I would suggest that you change suppliers or discuss your application with their engineer, (the engineering is normally free,).
