O-Rings by Material
o-rings-by-material
Due to its excellent resistance to petroleum products, and its ability to be compounded for service over a temperature range of -65 to +275°F(-54 to +135°C), nitrile is the most widely used elastomer in the seal industry today.
Inherently nitrile does not possess good resistance to ozone, sunlight or weather, but this can be substantially improved through compounding. For more information, please see: Comparison Properties Chart, PTFE Encapsulated O-rings, Material Shelf Life, and O-ring Groove Design Chart. oring11.jpg
They’re used in highly aggressive chemical processing, semiconductor wafer fabrication, pharmaceutical, oil and gas recovery, and aerospace applications. The long-term, proven performance of Kalrez® parts can mean less frequent seal changes, repairs and inspections, increasing process and equipment uptime for greater productivity and yield.
Kalrez® parts and seals also help prevent semiconductor process contamination by reducing particulates, lowering extractables, and resisting degradation in harsh plasma. Kalrez® parts provide low outgassing in vacuum-sealing applications. FDA-compliant seals are also available for food, beverage or pharmaceutical processes.
Parts resist over 1,800 different chemicals, while offering the high temperature stability of PTFE (327°C). They’re used in aggressive chemical processing, pharmaceutical, oil rcovery, gas recovery, and aerospace applications. The proven, long-term performance of Kalrez® parts can mean less repairs, seal changes, inspections and equipment uptime for greater productivity and yield.

Buna O-Rings
Nitrile, chemically, is a copolymer of butadiene and acrylonitrile. Acrylonitrile content is varied in commercial products from 18% to 48%. As the nitrile content increases, resistance to petroleum base oils and hydrocarbon fuels increases, but low temperature flexibility decreases.Due to its excellent resistance to petroleum products, and its ability to be compounded for service over a temperature range of -65 to +275°F(-54 to +135°C), nitrile is the most widely used elastomer in the seal industry today.

Viton O-Rings
A fluoroelastomer compound with a combination of exceptional mechanical properties and compression set resistance. This particular energizer gives an O-ring excellent memory and the ability to recover rapidly from deformation. This core has a Shore A hardness of 75 with a suggested operating temperature range of -10°F to +300°F (-23°C to +150°C) in encapsulated applications. Viton® is a registered trademarks of DuPont® Dow Elastomers.

EP is an elastomer which is characterized by wide range of applications and good chemical resistance. Ethylene propylene compounds have good resistance to detergents, alkalis, mild acids, greases, silicone oils, and alcohols. For more information, please see: Comparison Properties Chart, PTFE Encapsulated O-rings, Material Shelf Life, and O-ring Groove Design Chart. oring31.jpgNeoprene O-Rings
Neoprene resists fats, oils and petroleum products. Stands up well in sunlight. Low flammability - burns when exposed to flames, but self-extinguishes when flame is removed. Generally good ozone, aging and chemical resistance. It has good mechanical properties over a wide temperature range. For more information, please see: Comparison Properties Chart, PTFE Encapsulated O-rings, Material Shelf Life, and O-ring Groove Design Chart. jisorings.jpgSilicone O-Rings
This elastomer possesses mechanical properties similar to Viton®, with the exception of its slightly lower compression set resistance. It is more suitable for sensitive applications where lighter compressive forces are applied to energize the seal. This core has a Shore A hardness of 70 but it also offers a broader operating temperature range of -80°F to +500°F. (-62°C to +260°C).
