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.
| Característica | Junta tórica de silicona | Junta tórica NBR |
|---|---|---|
| Rango de temperatura | -50°C a 250°C | -40°C a 120°C |
| Mejor para | Heat, food, medical | Oil, fuel, hydraulics |
| Resistencia química | UV, ozone, dry heat | Oil, fuel, water |
| Costo | Más alto | Más asequible |

Which O-ring material performs better in heat or oil?
- Usar Juntas tóricas de silicona for high-temperature, sterile, or outdoor conditions.
- Usar Juntas tóricas NBR in fuel, hydraulic, or lubricated environments.
| Propiedad | Silicona | NBR |
|---|---|---|
| Resistencia al calor | ✅ Excellent (up to 250°C) | ❌ Moderate (up to 120°C) |
| Resistencia al aceite | ❌ Pobre | ✅ Excelente |
| Resistencia a la intemperie | ✅ Excelente | ❌ Pobre |
How do industries apply Silicone and NBR O-rings?
Juntas tóricas de silicona:
- dispositivos médicos
- Food & beverage systems
- Aerospace assemblies
Juntas tóricas NBR:
- 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:
-
Temperatura:
- 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
