Application and Disadvantages of Silicone Rubber O-rings

Update:2018-06-01

Silicone rubber O-ring  is a kind of ring-shaped product made of silicon rubber. It is a classification in silicone rubber products. Silicone rubber O-ring has wide temperature adaptability, sealing property, insulation property, dielectric property, Eco-friendly and other good features.

Therefore, it can not only withstand high temperature but also low temperature resistance. At the same time, it has good characteristics in terms of sealing property and dielectric property. 

Silicone rubber O-ring are commonly used to make various seals, high-voltage wire and cable, and hoses made of high-low temperature silicone rubber, etc., because the silicone rubber O-rings have the non-toxic, colorless, and tasteless properties of silicone rubber products, the silicone rubber O-rings are also used in food and medical industries.

The disadvantage of silicone rubber O-ring is that its price is relatively expensive compared to other silicone rubber products. At the same time, it is not inferior to other silicone rubber products in terms of corrosion resistance. It is slightly insufficient in terms of acid and alkali-resistant chemical solvents. The intensity is also lower.
