Overview of Vulcanized O-Rings
Generally speaking, vulcanized O-rings provide an ideal selection for static sealing. This is especially true in applications unsuitable for molded O-rings, such as those with oversized or non-standard measurements. Vulcanized O-rings are also viable when only a few pieces are needed, or when a customer needs an O-ring as quickly as possible and cannot wait the standard lead time for molded production.
When selecting a vulcanized O-ring for your next job, there are a few qualities to consider. These include the type of rubber used, the color, the durometer, the cross-section, and the cord thickness. Common materials used to make vulcanized O-rings include:
- Viton®
- Buna-N
- Silicone
- Polyurethane
- Neoprene
