Choosing between Silicone and NBR O-rings isn’t just a technical decision—it affects system life, cost, and compliance. So, which one should you choose?
Silicone O-rings are ideal for high heat and sterile environments, while NBR O-rings dominate oil-resistant industrial applications.
Let’s compare the differences and use cases to guide your selection.
What’s the difference between Silicone and NBR O-rings?
Silicone resists heat and UV, while NBR excels with oils and fuels. Your environment determines the right fit.

Which O-ring material performs better in heat or oil?
- يستخدم حلقات السيليكون for high-temperature, sterile, or outdoor conditions.
- يستخدم حلقات NBR O in fuel, hydraulic, or lubricated environments.
ملكية | سيليكون | ن بي آر |
---|---|---|
مقاومة الحرارة | ✅ Excellent (up to 250°C) | ❌ Moderate (up to 120°C) |
مقاومة الزيت | ❌ فقير | ✅ ممتاز |
مقاومة الطقس | ✅ ممتاز | ❌ فقير |
How do industries apply Silicone and NBR O-rings?
حلقات السيليكون:
- الأجهزة الطبية
- Food & beverage systems
- Aerospace assemblies
حلقات NBR O:
- Fuel injection systems
- الأسطوانات الهيدروليكية

Compare NBR to FKM O-Rings for more oil-based solutions.
What factors should you consider before choosing?
Use this simple checklist:
-
درجة حرارة:
- Over 120°C → Silicone
- Under 120°C → Proceed to step 2
-
Media Exposure:
- Oil/fuel → NBR
- UV, dry heat, ozone → Silicone
-
Cost Sensitivity:
- Budget-critical → NBR
- Long-term performance → Silicone
