Seal Elastomer & O-Ring Material Info

When selecting the proper seal materials for any application, Seal Faces, Elastomers (O-Rings) and Metallurgy all need to be considered.  The Min/Max Temperature Ranges shown are typical for continuous use and should be used as a guideline.
  • BUNA-N (Nitrile)  :  -40°F to 215°F
  • EPR / EPDM  :  -70°F to 300°F
  • VITON  :  -20°F to 400°F
  • AFLAS  :  -20°F to 400°F
  • KALREZ  :  -20°F to 600°F
Please keep in mind that Chemical Compatibility, and not just Temperature, must also be considered when selecting the correct elastomer material.  For assistance to ensure your mechanical seal is suitable for your application, please contact us.
