Rubber Orings
MATERIAL AND USES Nitrile (NBR):
Nitrile rubber O-rings are resistant to oils, fuels, and hydraulic fluids. They are commonly used in automotive applications, such as engine seals, fuel systems, and hydraulic systems.
Fluorocarbon (FKM or VitonĀ®):
Fluorocarbon O-rings have excellent resistance to heat, chemicals, and fuels. They are often used in applications requiring high-temperature and pressure resistance, such as aerospace, automotive, and chemical industries.
Silicone (VMQ):
Silicone rubber O-rings have good flexibility and temperature resistance. They are commonly used in food and beverage industries, medical devices, and applications requiring sealing in extreme temperature ranges.
Ethylene Propylene (EPDM):
EPDM rubber O-rings offer excellent weather resistance and are suitable for outdoor applications. They are commonly used in automotive cooling systems, weather sealing, and electrical enclosures.
Encapsulated O-rings,also known as FEP/PFA encapsulated O-rings, are a specialized type of sealing solution that combines the flexibility and resilience of rubber O-rings with the chemical resistance of fluoropolymer materials like FEP (fluorinated ethylene propylene) or PFA (perfluoroalkoxy). The encapsulation provides an outer layer of the fluoropolymer material, while the core is typically made of an elastomer such as silicone or VitonĀ®.
PTFE O-rings,are sealing components made from polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), a synthetic fluoropolymer known for its exceptional chemical resistance, low friction properties, and high-temperature resistance
