What is Silicone O-ring Cord?

Silicone O-ring cord is a flexible sealing material made from silicone rubber, known for its excellent heat resistance, flexibility, and durability. This cord can withstand temperatures ranging from -60°C to 230°C, making it ideal for use in both extremely cold and hot environments. Silicone O-ring cords have excellent resistance to aging, ozone, and UV radiation, making them suitable for outdoor applications and use in the medical, pharmaceutical, and food industries, where hygiene and safety are crucial. Additionally, silicone rubber offers good compression set resistance and is resistant to water and many chemicals, ensuring reliable sealing in various industrial and technical applications.

Advantages of Silicone O-ring Cord

-Excellent temperature resistance: Silicone O-ring cord can withstand temperatures from -60°C to 230°C, making it ideal for use in both extremely cold and hot environments.
-Resistance to aging and weather conditions: The material is resistant to UV radiation, ozone, and oxidation, making it well-suited for outdoor applications and prolonged exposure to the elements.
-Flexibility and elasticity: Silicone remains flexible and retains its shape even after prolonged compression, ensuring a reliable seal in dynamic applications.
-Safety and hygiene: Silicone is chemically inert, non-toxic, and meets high hygiene standards, making it ideal for applications in the medical, pharmaceutical, and food industries.
-Excellent chemical resistance: The material is resistant to many chemicals, oils, and water, providing a versatile sealing solution for various industries.

Applications of Silicone O-ring Cord

Silicone O-ring cord, made from VMQ (Silicone), is used in various industries due to its excellent resistance to vegetable and animal oils, fats, water (up to 100°C), and many organic and inorganic acids and bases.

In the aerospace industry, silicone cord is used in seals that must withstand extreme temperatures and aging due to ozone and weather conditions. The medical sector uses silicone O-rings because of their chemical inertness and biocompatibility, which are essential for medical equipment. In the food industry, silicone is also widely used due to its resistance to oils and fats, combined with its ability to maintain hygiene.

While silicone O-ring cord offers many advantages, it is less resistant to silicone oils, aromatic mineral oils, fuels, and steam above 120°C. Its operating temperature range is between -60°C and +200°C, which can be extended to +230°C with special compounds.

Comparison with Other Materials

Silicone O-ring cord offers unique benefits compared to materials like NBR, EPDM, and Viton.

Silicone vs. NBR O-ring
Silicone has a much broader temperature range (-60°C to +200°C) than NBR, making it perform better in extreme heat and cold. However, NBR is more resistant to oils, fuels, and lower temperatures, making it more suitable for applications involving oils and fuels.

EPDM vs. Silicone Rubber
EPDM is more resistant to steam and hot water, as well as UV and ozone damage, but has a more limited temperature resistance and is less flexible at low temperatures compared to silicone.

Silicone vs. Viton
Viton offers superior chemical resistance to fuels and solvents, while silicone excels in flexibility and temperature resistance, but is less resistant to aggressive chemicals like aromatic oils and fuels.

Each material choice depends on the specific requirements of the application.
