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.
| Χαρακτηριστικό | Ο δακτύλιος σιλικόνης | NBR O-Ring |
|---|---|---|
| Εύρος Θερμοκρασίας | -50°C έως 250°C | -40°C έως 120°C |
| Καλύτερο για | Heat, food, medical | Oil, fuel, hydraulics |
| Χημική Αντίσταση | UV, ozone, dry heat | Oil, fuel, water |
| Κόστος | Πιο ψηλά | Πιο προσιτό |

Which O-ring material performs better in heat or oil?
- Χρήση O-Rings σιλικόνης for high-temperature, sterile, or outdoor conditions.
- Χρήση NBR O-Rings in fuel, hydraulic, or lubricated environments.
| Ιδιοκτησία | Σιλικόνη | NBR |
|---|---|---|
| Αντοχή στη θερμότητα | ✅ Excellent (up to 250°C) | ❌ Moderate (up to 120°C) |
| Αντίσταση λαδιού | ❌ Φτωχός | ✅ Εξαιρετικό |
| Αντοχή στις καιρικές συνθήκες | ✅ Εξαιρετικό | ❌ Φτωχός |
How do industries apply Silicone and NBR O-rings?
O-Rings σιλικόνης:
- Ιατρικές συσκευές
- Food & beverage systems
- Aerospace assemblies
NBR O-Rings:
- Fuel injection systems

Compare NBR to FKM O-Rings for more oil-based solutions.
What factors should you consider before choosing?
Use this simple checklist:
-
Θερμοκρασία:
- 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
