-018 RED SILICONE 70D FDA O-RING

S70FDA018 is an AS568-018 red Silicone 70 Shore A O-Ring measuring an inside diameter of 0.739 in (18.77 mm), a cross section of 0.07 in (1.78 mm), and an outside diameter of 0.879 in (22.33 mm). In service, this o-ring compresses into its gland to block fluid or gas migration across a joint.

The material holds up against weathering, extreme heat and cold, and ozone and UV exposure. That behavior comes from the compound itself: Silicone is widely chosen for physiological inertness and low toxicity, an exceptionally wide service temperature range. Published continuous service range is -80°F (-62.2°C) to 450°F (232.2°C). Exposure to abrasive dynamic service or hydrocarbon fuels and oils will shorten service life.

The compound meets FDA requirements for food contact, is metal detectable for HACCP and foreign-body control programs. You will find this material specified across ovens and heated equipment, food and beverage processing, and sanitary process lines.
