Rubber Strip Mechanical Properties Rubber O Ring Cord Resistance to High Temperature

O-ring cord has an o-profile but is supplied as an extruded cord and can therefore be cut to the length that you require. O-ring cord can be used as a static seal for when standard sizes are either unavailable or too costly, and can be bonded or vulcanised to the size required. O-ring cord can be supplied in all standard materials and supplied in lengths or coils. We offer O-ring cord with standard sections, ranging from 1mm – 20mm.

Precision extruded rubber cord for manufacturing O rings and seals
Excellent resistance to hydrocarbon fuels, greases, water and mineral oil based fluids
Good mechanical properties, flexibility and very easy to work with

O Ring Cord is a simple, round, rubber extrusion. It is usually cut to length with both ends then joined with a super glue (or another adhesive) to make an O Ring. This is often done when custom sized O rings are urgently required or when the size of the ring makes arranging a fully moulded O Ring impractical.

O Rings made using our Nitrile Rubber O Ring Cord will exhibit the sealing capabilities of the nitrile rubber. Thus, you can expect them to withstand temperatures between -20°C and +90°C and offer excellent resistance to fuels, mineral oil based fluids, greases and water. Nitrile is typically not used for sealing aromatic hydrocarbons or brake fluid.
