Abstract
Improved seal components for compressors, such as scroll compressors, are provided. Such seal components have a molded composite on a seal plate that is preformed, which serves as an improved face seal for floating seal assemblies. The preformed seal plate may be formed of a sintered powder metal or cast gray iron. The molded composite comprises a thermoplastic polymer and at least one reinforcing or lubricating particle. Methods of forming such seal components for a scroll compressor by injection molding are also provided.
