O-Ring Selection Guide

Choosing the right O-ring material is essential for ensuring durability, chemical resistance, and performance in different applications. With options like Silicone, Viton, and Buna-N, selecting the best fit depends on temperature, fluid exposure, and mechanical stress.

List Example

Silicone O-Rings

Best for: High-temperature applications

Resistant to: Extreme temperatures, UV, and ozone exposure

Common Uses: Medical, food-grade, and aerospace industries

Viton O-Rings

Best for: Harsh chemical environments

Resistant to: Fuels, oils, and aggressive chemicals

Common Uses: Automotive, aerospace, and industrial machinery

Buna-N O-Rings

Best for: General-purpose sealing

Resistant to: Oil, fuel, and water

Common Uses: Automotive, hydraulic systems, and industrial sealing

How to Choose the Right O-Ring?

Consider temperature range – Silicone withstands extreme heat, while Buna-N works well in moderate conditions.

Evaluate chemical exposure – Viton is best for aggressive chemicals, while Silicone is safe for food and medical use.

Match mechanical needs – If flexibility and compression set resistance are priorities, Silicone is ideal.
