Nitrile (Buna-N)
The most widely used elastomer in industry. Excellent Resistance to petroleum products. Excellent compression set, and tear resistance.
Temperature range: -400 - + 2500F
SBR Sheet (Styrene Butadiene) Red Rubber
An economical sheet used in low pressure applications, with no oil resistant requirements. Excellent Abrasion and tear resistance.
Temperature Range: -200 - +1700F
Chloroprene (Neoprene)
Moderately resistant to petroleum products. Excellent weather resistance. Fair ozone resistance.
Temperature Range: -650 - +2500F
Ethylene Propylene (EPDM, EPM)(EPR)
Excellent resistance to fluids used in commercial aircraft hydraulic systems. Used in hot water, steam, and phosphate ester type hydraulic fluids. Also has some resistance to acids, alkalis, and ozone. Not recommended for petroleum fluids, or diester lubricants.
Temperature Range: -650 - +3000F
Silicone
For applications requiring a wide temperature range and good dry heat resistance. Good weather and ozone resistance. Limited oil resistance. Not recommended for dynamic sealing applications due to poor tensile strength and low abrasion resistance.
Temperature Range: -800 - +4500F
PTFE Teflon (E.I.duPont)
Material is chemically inert, has a low friction coefficient, high dielectric strength, zero water absorption, and excellent heat resistance.
Temperature Range: -650 - +5000F
Fluorocarbon Viton (E.I.duPont)
Good resistance to petroleum products. High temperature resistance. Has a wide spectrum of chemical compatibility. Has low gas permeability.
Temperature Range: -150 - +4000F |
