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.

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