Nitrile O-Rings
Nitrile O-rings, also known as Buna-N O-rings, are widely used in various industries due to their excellent resistance to oils, fuels, and other hydrocarbons. These O-rings are ideal for sealing applications in automotive, hydraulic, and industrial equipment, where durability and reliable performance are essential. Nitrile O-rings are available in a range of sizes and configurations to suit different applications, including standard circular cross-sections, square sections, and custom profiles such as chamfered or beveled edges.
Available Variations:Standard O-Rings: Ideal for most general-purpose sealing applications.
Square Section O-Rings: Offers better sealing in specific applications where standard round O-rings may not be suitable.Custom Profiles: Chamfered, beveled, or other custom profiles are available to meet specific sealing requirements.
