Compound Information
|
|
Nitrile
(Buna-N) |
|
|
The most widely used
O-Ring elastomer. Excellent resistance to petroleum
products. Excellent compression set, tear and abrasion
resistance. Does not have good resistance to ozone,
sunlight, or wather, unless specifically compounded.
Should not be stored in direct sunlight or near moters
or other electrical equipment which may generate ozone.
Temperature range:-40° to +250°F.

|
|
Fluorocarbon |
|
|
Excellent mechanical and physical properties. Good
resistance to petroleum products, low compression
set, and high temperature resistance. Wide spectrum
of chemical compatibility. Good for vacuum service
and low gas permeability. Temperature range: -15°
to +400°F (limited exposures to higher
temperatures).
|
|
|
Chloroprene (Neoprene) |
|
|
Moderately resistant to petroleum products. Good
ozone and weather resistance. Good compression set.
Excellent for sealing refrigeration fluids such as
Freon®. Temperature range: -65°
to +250°F. |
|
|
Silicone |
|
|
Recommended for applications requiring a wide
temperature range and good dry heat resistance. Good
weather and ozone resistance. Limited oil
resistance. Not normally recommended for dynamic
sealing applications due to relatively poor tensile
and tear strength and relatively low abrasion
resistance. Temperature range: -80°
to +450°F.
