Perfluoroelastomer (Parofluor Ultra) Perfluoroelastomer is a rubber version of PTFE. Available from Parker under the tradenames Parofluor™ and Parofluor ULTRA™.

T-seals were originally developed to preserve advantages of O-rings in dynamic fluid power applications while ending two of their most serious reliability problems: (1) extrusion through the gap between static and dynamic surfaces, and (2) instability in their grooves, which led to spiral or...

Hydrogenated nitrile was developed as an air-resistant variant of nitrile rubber. In HNBR, the carbon-carbon double bonds in the main polymer chain are saturated with hydrogen atoms in a process called "hydrogenation" that improves the material's thermal stability and oxidation resistance.

Advantages of O-Rings: They seal over a wide range of pressure, temperature and tolerance, Ease of service, no smearing or retightening, No critical torque on tightening, therefore unlikely to cuase structural damage, O-rings normally require very little room and are light in weight, In many...
