O-ring seals made from EPDM, Silicone, NBR, and FKM rubber are versatile sealing components widely used in industrial, automotive, and hydraulic systems. These rings provide a tight, reliable seal to prevent leakage of gases or fluids under varying pressure and temperature conditions. Each material offers unique properties to cater to specific operational requirements.
Material Options and Features:
- EPDM O-Rings:
- Excellent resistance to weather, UV, and ozone.
- High compatibility with water, steam, and certain chemicals.
- Temperature range: -50°C to +150°C.
- Silicone O-Rings:
- Superior flexibility and performance in extreme temperatures.
- Non-toxic, making it ideal for food-grade and medical applications.
- Temperature range: -60°C to +230°C.
- NBR (Nitrile Rubber) O-Rings:
- High resistance to oils, greases, and fuels.
- Cost-effective for general-purpose sealing applications.
- Temperature range: -30°C to +120°C.
- FKM (Viton) O-Rings:
- Exceptional chemical and heat resistance.
- Performs well in aggressive environments with oils, fuels, and solvents.
- Temperature range: -20°C to +200°C.
Applications:
- Automotive Industry:
- Used in engines, fuel systems, and hydraulic systems for reliable sealing.
- Industrial Equipment:
