Silicone O-Rings Selection Guide - Order Online
Silicone o-rings are excellent seal materials for high temperatures in static environments. Typically, silicone o-rings show outstanding flex and fatigue life, strong ozone and UV radiation resistance, and physiologically neutral and insulating properties. Silicone o-rings can be synthesized with a wide variety of properties and compositions, allowing for great flexibility in performance.

Silicone Rubber O-Rings Material Compound Comparison:
Hundreds more specialty compounds available. Contact a Marco Sales Consultant or Engineer for more information.
Service Temperature Range:
The temperature ranges presented above 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.
Common Names:
Silicone, VMQ, PVMQ
Silicone Rubber Trade Names:
Silastic®, Elastosil®, Thermoflex®
Silicone Rubber O-Rings Features:
The term silicone covers a large group of materials in which vinyl-methyl-silicone (VMQ) is often the central ingredient.
- Can be compounded to meet FDA, USP Class VI, USDA, 3-A and Canada AG
- Excellent heat and compression resistance, excellent flexibility, good electrical insulator
- Excellent resistance to oxygen, ozone and sunlight, animal and vegetable oil and grease
- Resistance to fungal and biological attack
Silicone Rubber O-Rings Limitations:
- Not recommended for dynamic application since it has low strength and poor abrasion resistance & high gas permeability
- Concentrated solvents, oils, concentrated acids, diluted sodium hydroxide, hydrocarbon based fuels, aromatic mineral oil
- Aromatic Hydrocarbons (benzene, toluene), aromatic mineral oil, acids and alkalis, Superheated water or steam over 250 F
