List ALL factors of seal application and check material performance. The most commonly used durometer is 70. Although other durometers are offered, availability may be limited due to processing or shrinkage factors. Apple Temperature Material Durometers Range** Materials Designation (Shore A) (Dry Heat Only) Description Presently the seal industry’s most widely used elastometer. Nitrile Buna-N/Nitrile (NBR) BN 40 thru 90 -40 to +257° F combines excellent resistance to petroleum-based oils and fuels, -40 to +125° C silicone greases, hydraulic fluids, water and alcohols. It has a good balance of such desirable working properties as low compression set, high tensile strength and high abrasion resistance. Features good resistance to such polar solvents as ketones (MEK & Acetone). EPM/EPDM is also highly recommended for effective Ethylene-Propylene (EPM/EPDM) EP 40 thru 90 -40 to +275° F resistance to steam (to 400° F), hot water, silicone oils and -40 to +135° C greases, dilute acids and alkalies, alcohols and automotive brake fluids. Properly compounded, Ethylene Propylene can provide extended temperature range of -76°F to +350°F. Especially resistant to high, dry heat in primarily static Silicone (Mq; Pmq; Vmq; Pvmq) SL 25 thru 80 -85 to +400° F applications. Silicones are fungus resistant, odorless, tasteless, -65 to +230° C non-toxic elastomers and possess high-resistance to the aging effects of both sunlight and ozone attack. An early developed, oil-resistant substitute for natural rubber, Neoprene features moderate resistance to petroleum oils, good Neoprene® (Chloroprene) (CR) CR 40 thru 90 -40 to +250° F resistance to ozone, sunlight and oxygen aging, relatively low -40 to +121° C compression set, good resilience, reasonable cost, and high resistance to attack by Freon® and Ammonia. Combines high-temperature toughness with wide chemical agent compatibility, Fluorocarbon compounds feature excellent Fluorocarbon (Viton®) (Fluorel®) (FKM) VT 55 thru 95 -13 to +446° F resistance to petroleum products and solvents and good high- -25 to +230° C temperature compression set characteristics. Combines the good high and low temperature stability of Silicones with the fuel, oil and solvent resistance of fluorocarbons. Fluorosilicone (Fvmq) FS 40 thru 80 -75 to +400° F FS compounds feature good compression set and resilience -60 to +200° C properties. FS compounds are suitable for exposure to air, sunlight, ozone, chlorinated and aromatic hydrocarbons. *Please check the latest standard for current version. **The temperatures listed are general operating range. 800.828.7745 (U.S. and Canada only) 716.684.6560 or visit applerubber.com Standard O-Rings How to Determine O-Ring Size* Every Standard AS-568* Size in O-Ring size is defined by inside For Sequence in Ordering: Stock: Listed in inches.
