-006 RED SILICONE 70D FDA O-RING

This o-ring is supplied in AS568-006 red Silicone 70 Shore A measuring an inside diameter of 0.114 in (2.9 mm), a cross section of 0.07 in (1.78 mm), and an outside diameter of 0.254 in (6.45 mm), catalogued under part number S70FDA006. It remains the most cost-effective sealing element available for pressurized assemblies.

The material holds up against weathering, extreme heat and cold, and dry heat. That behavior comes from the compound itself: Silicone is valued for very good compression set resistance across its range and excellent electrical insulating properties. Service temperature is rated from -80°F (-62.2°C) through 450°F (232.2°C). It is not the right choice where steam above its rated range or abrasive dynamic service are present.

This o-ring meets FDA requirements for food contact, is metal detectable for HACCP and foreign-body control programs. You will find this material specified across medical devices, sanitary process lines, and food and beverage processing.

Reference part number S70FDA006 when ordering; the item is sold individually. Unit weight is approximately 0.0515 g and nominal inside diameter is listed as 1/8 inch. Check the compound against your process media, pressure and temperature before committing to a design. For a size or compound outside the standard catalog, APG can quote from a print or sample.
