Features:
1. They are round in cross section. For use in a wide temperature range from -4°F (-20°C) to 212°F (100°C).
2. Nitrile has good mechanical properties and high wear resistance compared to other elastomers. It has good resistance to many petroleum oils, greases, hydraulic fluids and mineral oils.
3. O-rings generally provide a pressure and fluid seal between cylindrical shaped and overlapping fitting surfaces and are commonly used in flanges, valves and various cylinders.
4. Nitrile rubber is susceptible to acetone, ethers, esters, ozone, sunlight and weather conditions and should therefore not be used in ozone-generating electric motors, welding equipment or in applications with UV exposure.
