Custom Rubber Rings Materials:
Several types of elastomers are available for O-ring fabrication, and each one offers distinct properties that make it compatible with specific operational environments. Common material options include:1.Neoprene/chloroprene. Neoprene/chloroprene is a synthetic rubber with excellent weather, heat, and abrasion resistance. This material is often used in refrigeration and automobile applications due to its ability to tolerate fluids such as ammonia, freon, and oil.
2.Silicone. Silicone is a non-reactive, stable material that can tolerate a wide range of temperatures as well as UV and ozone exposure. Common applications of silicone O-rings include medical equipment, automotive systems, and electronic devices.
3.Buna-N (nitrile). Resistant to petroleum-based fluids, alcohols, and water, Buna-N materials are a great option for automotive, aerospace, and fuel tank applications.
4.Fluorosilicone. Fluorosilicone is a saturated rubber material with excellent resistance to fuels, oils, solvents, and other harsh fluids, making it well-suited for static sealing and aerospace applications.
5.Fluorocarbon/Viton. Tolerant of high temperatures and harsh chemicals, Viton O-rings are a great sealing solution for aircraft engines, chemical processing systems, and automotive applications.
6.Ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM). EPDM O-rings are resistant to weather, water, steam, and ozone, making them a suitable option for everything from automotive systems to medical devices.
7.Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). Known for their excellent resistance to harsh chemicals and high temperatures, PTFE O-rings are often used in chemical processing applications in the medical and pharmaceutical industries.
8.Aflas. The chemical, temperature, and steam resistance of Aflas O-rings make them well-suited for automotive engines, fuel-handling systems, and oil exploration & drilling applications.
Custom rubber O-Ring Applications:
O-rings can be customized to suit many sealing applications, including:
1.Oil & gas. The oil & gas industry relies on high-performance O-rings that are designed to tolerate the extreme temperatures, harsh chemicals, and high pressures encountered in oil exploration, extraction, and processing applications.2.Medical. Medical devices and equipment such as syringes, pumps, and filtration systems require medical-grade O-rings that meet the industry’s strict quality standards.
3.Transportation. In the transportation industry, custom O-rings form reliable seals that can withstand chemicals, vibration, heat, and pressure extremes encountered in automotive and aerospace systems.
4.Food & beverage. The food & beverage industry uses FDA-approved O-rings in food processing, beverage dispensing, and water filtration applications.
5.Refrigeration and air conditioning. O-rings made from low-temperature-tolerant materials are used to seal ammonia and other refrigerants in air conditioners and refrigeration units.

11.ElectricalHow to Choose Custom O-Rings:
Key considerations to keep in mind during the O-ring customization or selection process include:
1.Material selection. To provide an effective and long-lasting seal, the O-ring’s material must be capable of withstanding the application’s specific operating environment.2.Temperature. Since the elastomers used in O-rings all have their own optimal temperature ranges, it is important to select one that is compatible with the temperature requirements of your application.
3.Operating pressure. The amount of pressure an O-ring can tolerate will generally depend on the type of application (static or dynamic), the O-ring’s durometer, and the clearance gap. Standard O-rings are engineered to tolerate operating pressures of approximately 1500 psi. For higher-pressure operations, it is important to choose a higher-strength elastomer that can resist extrusion into the clearance gap.
4.Surface finish. An O-ring’s surface finish requirements will depend on the type of fluid being sealed and the dynamics of the application.
5.Stretch. To fit securely within a groove, custom O-rings should be engineered to provide an optimal amount of stretch. Excessive stretch can accelerate wear and decrease sealing performance over time.
