APG stocks the SFDA3X6, a red Silicone 70 Shore A O-Ring with an inside diameter of 6 mm (0.236 in), a cross section of 3 mm (0.118 in), and an outside diameter of 12 mm (0.47 in). An o-ring compresses into its gland to block fluid or gas migration across a joint. Source specification: FDA Compliant TO 21CFR Sec 177-2600, Metric O-RING.
The material holds up against ozone and UV exposure, many oxidizing chemicals, and extreme heat and cold. That behavior comes from the compound itself: Silicone is specified for an exceptionally wide service temperature range and very good compression set resistance across its range. Service temperature is rated from -80°F (-62.2°C) through 450°F (232.2°C).
This o-ring meets FDA requirements for food contact, is metal detectable for HACCP and foreign-body control programs. Maintenance and OEM teams specify it across medical devices, electronics and electrical enclosures, and sanitary process lines.
Order part number SFDA3X6, sold individually. Application requirements vary, so validate compatibility with your process conditions prior to installation. If you need a size, durometer or compound that is not listed, APG can cross-reference from a print, a sample or a competitor part number.
