APG stocks the S2X8, a red Silicone 70 Shore A O-Ring with an inside diameter of 8 mm (0.315 in), a cross section of 2 mm (0.079 in), and an outside diameter of 12 mm (0.47 in). An o-ring seats in a machined groove and forms a leak-tight barrier when compressed between two mating surfaces.
The material holds up against many oxidizing chemicals, weathering, and dry heat. That behavior comes from the compound itself: Silicone offers very good compression set resistance across its range and flexibility that holds at very low temperatures. Continuous operating temperature is published at -80°F (-62.2°C) to 450°F (232.2°C). It should not be specified for service in concentrated acids or steam above its rated range.
This o-ring meets FDA requirements for food contact. Common environments for this compound include food and beverage processing, medical devices, and electronics and electrical enclosures.
S2X8 ships individually. Unit weight is approximately 0.136 g. As always, verify media compatibility and operating conditions against the requirements of your specific application.
