Silicone is specified here for excellent electrical insulating properties, physiological inertness and low toxicity. The material holds up against extreme heat and cold, ozone and UV exposure, and many oxidizing chemicals. The material carries a published service range of -80°F (-62.2°C) to 450°F (232.2°C). Applications involving concentrated acids or abrasive dynamic service call for a different compound.
This o-ring meets FDA requirements for food contact. It sees regular use in pharmaceutical manufacturing, sanitary process lines, and ovens and heated equipment.
Reference part number S4X12 when ordering; the item is sold individually. Unit weight is approximately 0.8726 g. As always, verify media compatibility and operating conditions against the requirements of your specific application.
