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.
| Karakterizaĵo | Silicona O-ringo | NBR O-ringo |
|---|---|---|
| Temperaturgamo | -50 °C ĝis 250 °C | -40 °C ĝis 120 °C |
| Plej bona Por | Heat, food, medical | Oil, fuel, hydraulics |
| Kemia Rezisto | UV, ozone, dry heat | Oil, fuel, water |
| Kosto | Pli alta | Pli pagebla |

Which O-ring material performs better in heat or oil?
- Uzu Siliconaj O-ringoj for high-temperature, sterile, or outdoor conditions.
- Uzu NBR O-ringoj in fuel, hydraulic, or lubricated environments.
| Proprieto | Silicono | NBR |
|---|---|---|
| Varma Rezisto | ✅ Excellent (up to 250°C) | ❌ Moderate (up to 120°C) |
| Rezisto al Petrolo | ❌ Malriĉa | ✅ Bonega |
| Veterrezisto | ✅ Bonega | ❌ Malriĉa |
How do industries apply Silicone and NBR O-rings?
Siliconaj O-ringoj:
- Medicinaj aparatoj
- Food & beverage systems
- Aerospace assemblies
NBR O-ringoj:
- Fuel injection systems
- Hidraŭlikaj cilindroj

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