| Nitrile (or NBR) O-Rings are most commonly available and are cost effective.Ideal for use as seals on pumps, drive belts, and other general engineering applications. NBR is good for applications that need to withstand fats, Greases and high temperature (+70°C). For automotive applications requiring contact with petrol or diesel you may wish to consider Polymax Viton o ring kits Temperature range -30ºC to +120ºC (avoid prolonged use at higher extremes) Suitable for: Many hydrocarbons, fats, oils gasoline, petroleum based hydraulic fluid etc Generally attacked by: Ozone, esters, retones, aldehydes, chlorimated, and nitro hydrocarbons | Viton® O Rings have a low compression set and have high temperature and chemical resistance.As such they are more expensive than NBR O Rings . Temperature range -20ºC to +200ºC (avoid prolonged use at higher extremes) Suitable for: chlorinated solvents, synthetic lubricants, diesel fuel, petroleum oils and most hydrocarbons Generally attacked by: Hydrogen sulphide, furfaral, formaldehyd methanol ketone, potassium hydroxide |
