The workhorse of industrial sealing. Excellent oil and fuel resistance makes it the default choice for hydraulic and pneumatic systems.
- Oil & fuel resistance
- Hydraulic fluids
- Automotive & industrial
Best choice for outdoor, water-based and weather-exposed applications. Poor resistance to oil and fuel — keep away from petroleum products.
- Water & steam resistance
- UV & ozone resistance
- Outdoor durability
Premium compound for the most demanding environments. Handles aggressive solvents, fuels and high heat where other rubbers fail. Higher cost, but unmatched performance.
- Aggressive chemical resistance
- High temperature rating
- Long service life
The best material for vibration isolation and shock absorption. Limited temperature range and poor chemical resistance — not suitable for oil or UV exposure.
- Superior vibration damping
- High elasticity & tear strength
- Dynamic load applications
Exceptional temperature stability from arctic cold to oven heat. Food-contact and medical grades available. Mechanically weaker than other rubbers — not ideal for high-stress seals.
- Widest temperature range
- Food-safe grades available
- Electrical insulation
A balanced all-rounder. Good weathering resistance combined with moderate oil tolerance makes it ideal where EPDM is too weak on oil and NBR is too weak on weather.
- Weathering & ozone resistance
- Mild oil resistance
- Flame retardant properties
