What Silicone O-Rings Offer
Silicone O-Rings are ideal solutions for environmental seals, offering excellent ozone and weathering resistance, as well as reliable sealability across a wide temperature range.
While silicone makes for effective seals, it’s less suitable for dynamic sealing due to low mechanical performance characteristics like tensile and tear strength.
However, silicone rings excel in static applications due to their excellent insulating properties and resistance to UV and ozone exposure. Their low compression set helps maintain a reliable seal over time, reducing the likelihood of seal failure and extending maintenance intervals.
Features & Benefits:
- UV and Ozone Resistance: Protects against exposure, weathering, and fungus.
- Low Compression Set: Minimizes seal failure and extends maintenance intervals for static applications.
- FDA-Compliant Options: Available in medical-grade compounds for sensitive applications.
- Wide Temperature Range: Operates effectively from –65°F to 500°F (-54°C to 260°C).
Silicone O-Rings excel in providing reliable sealing solutions, ensuring long-lasting performance and protection against environmental factors in various applications.
Potential Applications & Industries
Silicone O-Rings ensure reliable performance in various applications and industries, including environmental seals for medical devices, pharmaceutical equipment, food and beverage processing, and electronics. Their durability and sealing capabilities make them essential for protecting sensitive components in challenging conditions.
Design Specifics & How The Product Works
Silicone O-Rings are designed to provide excellent sealing properties while maintaining flexibility and resilience. Their unique formulation allows them to effectively conform to various surfaces, ensuring a tight seal even under varying environmental conditions.
