The local picture
What Mumbai runs, and what it wears out
Mumbai works its hydraulics in salt air. Container handling at Nhava Sheva and the Mumbai docks, deck cranes and hatch covers on coastal and offshore support vessels, and the ship repair yards around the harbour all run cylinders that see spray, humidity and near-continuous duty - conditions that punish a rod seal far faster than an inland factory does.
Behind the waterfront sits a very different demand. The refineries at Mahul and the chemical and pharmaceutical plant across Taloja, Ambernath and the Thane-Belapur belt seal against process media rather than mineral oil, which pushes material choice towards FKM, EPDM and PTFE and makes back-up rings a routine part of the specification instead of an afterthought.
Raj Trading Corporation has supplied both kinds of buyer from Chennai since 1991 - importer, distributor and stockist of hydraulic and pneumatic seals across 18 OEM-approved brands, held ex-stock in Chennai. Send a part code, a drawing or the measured dimensions of the worn seal and the team will confirm the profile and material before quoting.
Getting the goods to Mumbai
Mumbai is roughly 1,300 km from the Chennai warehouse by road, and orders travel by surface transport with the buyer's preferred carrier or a nominated transporter. Raj Trading Corporation has no branch, office or godown in Mumbai - every consignment is picked, invoiced and dispatched from Chennai - so it is worth sending the full size and quantity in one message and confirming the consignee address for the port or MIDC estate when the order is placed.
The counter and warehouse are at Old No. 39, New No. 81, Moore Street, George Town, Chennai 600 001, Tamil Nadu. Enquiries from Mumbai are handled by the same Chennai team that serves the local trade.

Seal families that matter most in Mumbai
Salt spray and grit make the wiper the component that decides how long everything behind it lasts, so Mumbai enquiries lean heavily on double-lip wipers and on rod seals in polyurethane and FKM. Process-side buyers order in the opposite direction - O-rings and back-up rings chosen for the medium rather than the pressure - while deck machinery on older vessels still runs adjustable chevron sets.
Questions
Buying seals for Mumbai
Questions the Chennai team is asked most often by buyers and maintenance engineers in this region.
Which seal material suits deck machinery exposed to salt spray?
For mineral-oil hydraulics in a marine environment, polyurethane rod seals paired with a double-lip wiper handle spray and grit well, while FKM is specified where the fluid is fire-resistant or the temperature is high. The lip material matters less than excluding salt and dirt in the first place, so the team will usually ask about the wiper before the rod seal. Send the fluid type and operating temperature along with the dimensions.
Can a seal be matched from an old imported cylinder on a vessel?
Often, yes. Photograph the worn seal against a scale and measure the inside diameter, outside diameter and cross-section height, plus the groove dimensions if the cylinder is open. The team cross-references the profile against the catalogue of 18 OEM-approved brands and confirms an equivalent before quoting - which is useful when the original maker's part number is no longer supported.
What is supplied for chemical plant rather than hydraulic cylinders?
Process duty is mostly static sealing: O-rings and back-up rings selected for the medium. FKM covers most solvents and acids, EPDM suits steam and hot water but not mineral oil, and PTFE is used where nothing else survives. Share the chemical, its concentration and the temperature and the team will recommend a compound rather than guessing from the size alone.
How do orders reach Mumbai from Chennai?
By surface transport from the Chennai warehouse. There is no Raj Trading Corporation stock point in Mumbai, so transit depends entirely on the carrier and the destination - the team confirms dispatch details and documentation when the order is placed. Urgent breakdown items can be booked through an air-cargo agent if the customer nominates one.
Need a seal identified for a machine in Mumbai?
Send the part code, a drawing or a photo of the worn seal with its measured dimensions. Raj Trading Corporation will confirm the profile, material and size and quote from Chennai stock.
