This material stands up to many oxidizing chemicals, extreme heat and cold, and dry heat. That behavior comes from the compound itself: Silicone is specified for very good compression set resistance across its range, physiological inertness and low toxicity. Published continuous service range is -80°F (-62.2°C) to 450°F (232.2°C). It is not the right choice where abrasive dynamic service or hydrocarbon fuels and oils are present.
This o-ring meets FDA requirements for food contact, is metal detectable for HACCP and foreign-body control programs. It sees regular use in electronics and electrical enclosures, medical devices, and ovens and heated equipment.
