1. Description
O-Ring seals are suitable for various mechanical equipment. It has sealing function in static or motion state. When it was in the medium of specified temperature, pressure, different liquid and gas. There have many sealing elements used in machine, ship, automobile, aerospace equipment, metallurgical machinery, chemical machinery, construction machinery, building machinery, mining machinery, petroleum machinery, plastic machinery, agricultural machinery and various instruments and apparatus. O-Ring seals mainly used for static sealing and reciprocating motion sealing. When it used in rotary sealing, it was only limited in low speed rotary sealing device. O-Ring seals generally installed in the groove of rectangle cross section. O-Ring seals have good sealing performance in the situation of oil resistance, acid and alkali resistance, wear resistance, chemical resistance. O-Ring seals are most widely used in hydraulic and pneumatic system.

3. Materials
Silicone compounds are very clean and are used in many food and medical applications because they do not impart odor or taste. Silicone compounds are not recommended for dynamic O-ring sealing applications due to relatively low tear strength and high coefficient of friction.
Silicone is resistant to hot air, ozone, UV radiation, engine and transmission oils, animal and vegetable fats and oils, and brake fluids. VMQ also has low resistance to mineral oils. Silicone can be compounded to be electrically resistant, conductive, or flame retardant. Many silicone compounds have a higher than normal mold shrinkage. Therefore production molds for silicone products are often different than molds for nitrile.
