Silicone O-Rings

Silicone rubber makes for an excellent sealing material for products like O-Rings and Gaskets. Silicone is renowned for having a wide working temperature ranges better than most types of elastomers. It also has superior flexibility and a low compression set. This material can be compounded to host a variety of other characteristics such as flame resistance, conductivity, and more. These unique traits paired with being cost-effective make Silicone a great rubber seal and allow it to be used in a variety of different applications such as automotive, aviation, construction, electronics, and even the food and beverage industry with FDA-approved silicone rubber.

Silicone: Used in food-grade equipment, medical tubing, and general gaskets due to its biocompatibility and flexibility.
