I bring you a practical solution built for manufacturers like you. Our {O-Ring Material Chart} guides selection from NBR to FKM, FFKM, silicone, and PTFE, with temp ranges, chemical resistance, and aging behavior. As an ODM factory, we offer custom compound options, durometer ranges, sizes, and finishes to match your equipment and ISO/REACH needs. When you choose us, you get fast sampling, VOC-free processes, and stable supply for volumn. We provide technical support, leak tests, and cross-sections for your QA. We value long-term partnerships and flexible MOQs. Our factory's control system keeps traceable raw materials and consistent performance across batch lots. If you need price-competitive seals, with clear data packs and certificates, tell us your target media, pressure, and temperature. I am here to translate your specs into reliable O-Rings and offer ODM capabilities that streamline procurement and reduce supply-chain risk.
The 2025 O-ring material chart is your concise roadmap to peak sealing performance across industries. It compares common elastomers—NBR and HNBR for oil and fuel resistance and abrasion; FKM and FFKM for high-temperature and aggressive chemical environments; EPDM and silicone for steam, hot water and weather resistance; CR for refrigerants; and PTFE composites for extreme chemical inertness—against key parameters: temperature range, chemical compatibility, hardness, compression set, and regulatory status (FDA/USP, RoHS, REACH). Updated entries reflect recent compound improvements and real-world field data to help global buyers match materials to applications in automotive, oil & gas, aerospace, food & pharma, and renewable energy. Using the chart guarantees peak performance by removing guesswork: select the material that meets required service temperature, media exposure, pressure cycles, and certification needs, then validate with sample testing and lifecycle data. Reliable sourcing is ensured through standardized quality control, traceable batch documentation, and optimized inventory strategies for just-in-time delivery worldwide. For procurement teams focused on uptime and total cost of ownership, this chart streamlines specification, reduces failure risk, and accelerates time-to-market.
| Material | Temperature Range (°C) | Hardness (Shore A) | Compression Set (%) | Tensile Strength (MPa) | Elongation at Break (%) | Chemical Resistance | Typical Applications |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| NBR (Nitrile) | -40 to 120 | 85 | 22 | 14 | 350 | Good oil resistance; moderate solvents | Oil seals, pumps, automotive seals |
| EPDM | -50 to 150 | 85 | 28 | 9 | 400 | Excellent water/steam resistance; poor oil resistance | Water/steam seals, coolant systems |
| FKM (Fluorocarbon) | -20 to 230 | 85 | 18 | 20 | 130 | Excellent oil/fuel resistance; broad chemical resistance | High-temperature oil/fuel seals |
| HNBR (Hydrogenated NBR) | -40 to 150 | 75 | 22 | 20 | 400 | Superior oil resistance; improved heat aging | Oil seals in harsh environments |
| VMQ (Silicone) | -60 to 230 | 60 | 35 | 7 | 600 | Good temperature stability; limited oil resistance | Food-grade, pharma, high/low temperature seals |
| FVMQ (Fluorosilicone) | -60 to 200 | 70 | 28 | 8 | 500 | Better fuel resistance than VMQ; moderate oil resistance | Fuel lines, vapor seals in varied temps |
| AEM (ACM, Acrylic-Modified) | -40 to 160 | 75 | 24 | 14 | 350 | Good high-temperature oil resistance; ozone resistant | Engine seals, hot oil seals |
| FFKM (Perfluoroelastomer) | -20 to 320 | 90 | 15 | 24 | 200 | Excellent chemical resistance; inert to most fuels | Seals in highly aggressive chemical environments |
