You are probably aware that O-rings play an important role in push fit fittings in the plumbing industry. It's the part of the pipe connection that is used to make a seal, preventing any risk of leakage from the water inside. It has low insertion forces and allows the pipework and fitting to rotate.
What are the different types of o rings?
Some of the common types of O-ring materials include PTFE, Nitrile (Buna), Neoprene, EPDM Rubber and Fluorocarbon (Viton). Silicone and Kalrez® O-ring materials are also widely used, especially in high temperature applications.
Are HNBR O rings gasoline resistant?
HNBR o-rings are made from hydrogenated nitrile specifically designed to provide superior temperature and fuel resistance compared to traditional NBR materials. HBNR o-rings also feature excellent abrasion, wear, and compression set resistance, making them a reliable o-ring in a wide range of tough applications.
