Given the technological advancements in recent years, many useful elastomers, or polymers, have since been developed that satisfy even higher operating conditions. Today’s O-ring compounds offer better chemical and physical properties, allowing them to withstand higher pressures and higher temperatures, with incredible resistance to numerous fluids.

Our initial investigation uncovered large discrepancies in the actual performance and material characteristics of the same type of NBR-70 or N70 O-ring compounds, even when used in equal applications.
