When the seal stays wet, fine slurry has more time to migrate toward the contact line. A COMBI seal creates multiple external barriers, reducing direct exposure of the main oil lip to water-borne dirt and grit.

Wet-duty note: State clearly whether the seal is splashed, surrounded by standing mud or temporarily submerged. Those conditions are not equivalent and can require different profile and material decisions.
