Silicone O-Rings

Silicone O-Rings

Silicone materials offer outstanding temperature resistance across a broad range, from -65F to 450F. Silicone materials provide excellent resistance to sunlight, ozone, oxygen, UV light and moisture. It's inert qualities make it the preferred material for use with food handling and medical applications. Silicone offers poor tensile, tear and abrasion resistance, and are not recommended for dynamic applications.
