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.
Özellik | Silikon O-Ring | NBR O-Ring |
---|---|---|
Sıcaklık Aralığı | -50°C ila 250°C | -40°C ila 120°C |
En İyisi İçin | Heat, food, medical | Oil, fuel, hydraulics |
Kimyasal Direnç | UV, ozone, dry heat | Oil, fuel, water |
Maliyet | Daha yüksek | Daha uygun fiyatlı |
