The information on this page is to the best of our knowledge accurate and reliable. However, Marco Rubber makes no warranty, expressed or implied, that parts manufactured from this material will perform satisfactorily in the customer's application. It's the customer's responsibility to evaluate parts prior to use.
The temperature ranges presented on this page are approximations for dry air service only and should not be used to determine design specifications or end-use temperature limits. Actual temperature range of a compound in an end-use application is highly dependent on part type, hardware configuration, applied forces, chemical media, pressure and thermal cycling effects, and other factors. The most practical way of determining an end-use temperature range is testing in the actual application conditions. Consult a Marco Engineer for more details.
Many people make the unfortunate mistake of trying to force a standard seal in an application that needs a custom one. If the team had gone with a custom rubber o-ring from the beginning, they could have avoided expensive downtime, frustrating spills, and costly yield loss.
While custom o-rings can present additional costs upfront, they are designed to save you significant amounts in the long run. But, if you work with Marco Rubber, we can often make custom rubber o-rings without additional tooling fees.
We offer a large number of customization options, including but not limited to:
Essentially, the customizable options are endless.
We believe customization shouldn't take long. We will follow our detailed and thorough process to quickly engineer a solution to get your application up and running. Whether you need a low-cost, disposable option or an o-ring designed to lengthen service life, we can help.
Need compliant parts? We've still got you covered. We offer materials that meet standards in heavily regulated industries like oil and gas, aerospace, drinking water, food and beverage, pharmaceutical, medical device manufacturing, and more.
As an ISO 9001:2015 certified company, we take pride in our dedication to quality and excellence. Beyond our comprehensive quality control, we offer after-market support to ensure your custom solution works.

One of the trickiest parts of choosing an o-ring is sizing. Improperly sized o-rings are a leading cause of seal failure. There is an art to determining the right size for your o-ring, so let's cover some basics.
Review gland design basics.
First, you will need to determine the way pressure works in your gland. Your operation will be one of the following:
Next, to determine your sizing, you will want to know the following gland measurements:
Now that you have your important measurements, you can use a comprehensive sizing chart to select the correct sized o-ring. The following links will take you to the corresponding sizing chart for your appropriate region:
We have given you a lot of information here, but there is so much more. We've broken down the essentials in our Complete Guide To Choosing An O-Ring. We cover topics like defining an ideal seal, identifying your application's challenges, choosing materials, sizing, picking a profile, and questions you should be asking your supplier.
An o-ring is a torus, or donut-shaped ring, that is made from plastic or rubber. An o-ring seal consists of the gland that houses the o-ring and the o-ring itself.
O-rings are a popular choice for sealing because they are incredibly versatile! Some of their numerous benefits include:
