What Are O-Rings Made Of? 5 Common Materials for Industrial O-Rings

Industrial O-rings function as seals between mechanized parts that carry pressurized gases or liquids, performing optimally under defined use conditions while inhibiting leaks. Using inappropriate materials can render the seal brittle or prone to leaks under certain chemical, temperature, friction, or pressure conditions. Learn about 5 common industrial O-ring materials in this informative blog article from Wyatt Seal.

Resilon® Polyurethane - Parker Hannifin 4300

Uniquely formulated polyurethane for high-performance hydraulic sealing with maximum durability. Industrial seals are often used when other sealing materials can’t meet performance standards under harsh conditions such as very high temperatures, high vibration, or exposure to solvents or other chemicals.

What is Finite Element Analysis (FEA)? Finite Element Analysis Defined

Finding or designing seals for a specific application can be daunting, especially in specialty applications where performance matters most and failure is not an option. That’s where Finite Element Analysis (FEA) can help you save valuable time and money in your search.

Viton® vs. Nitrile O-rings - Which to Choose?

When looking for an O-ring, there are many different materials out there. Viton® and nitrile are two of the most common materials used to create O-rings, and for a good reason. Both have excellent properties, a good compression set, and varied chemical resistances. So which material is suitable for your application?

Why O-ring Shelf Life Matters for Industrial Seals

The shelf life for industrial seals varies among different materials. Discover this guide on why shelf life matters and which materials have specific shelf lives.
