O-Ring Materials
The following is a brief description of our O-Ring materials and their mechanical properties:
- Nitrile: May be used in conjunction with silicone greases/oils, water, petroleum oils/fluids; ethylene glycol fluids Good wear resistance and compression set resistance, short term resilience and permeation resistance
- Neoprene: Recommended for use with ammonia, Freon, dilute acids, some petroleum oils, and silicone ester lubricants Good wear resistance, moderate compression set resistance, good permeation resistance, and moderate short-term resilience
- Natural gum rubber: Recommended for use with water, dilute alkalis, amines, lower alcohols and silicone oils and grease
- Silicone: May be used in conjunction with jet fuel, dry heat, some petroleum oils and chlorinated solvents Poor wear resistance, moderate short-term resilience, moderate compression set resistance and poor permeation resistance
- Viton™: Recommended for use with most acids and chemicals, petroleum oils and fuels, silicone oils and greases, di-ester lubricants and halogenated hydrocarbons Good wear resistance, excellent permeation resistance, moderate short term resilience and excellent compression set resistance
We also offer O-Ring kits. Call for information about our kits and the materials, durometer and ring sizes they contain.
