APG stocks the 0297500, a black Viton® (FKM) 75 Shore A square profile O-Ring Cord Stock built to a cross section of 0.5 in (12.7 mm). An o-ring cord stock provides continuous extruded stock for building one-off or oversized rings.
Viton® (FKM) is specified here for excellent resistance to compression set and permeation, industry benchmark where nitrile reaches its thermal limit. The material holds up against engine and transmission fluids, aggressive chemicals, and many acids. Applications involving low-molecular-weight organic acids or ketones and esters call for a different compound.
You will find this material specified across oil and gas, semiconductor equipment, and chemical processing.
Stocked as 0297500 and sold by the foot. As always, verify media compatibility and operating conditions against the requirements of your specific application. APG can cross-reference from an existing part number, a drawing or a physical sample if this size is not an exact match.
