Silicone O-Ring Cord - FDA Red

Silicone Rubber is an inorganic rubber whose ability to retain its physical properties at elevated temperatures is superior to most other materials. It is also flexible at very low temperatures however its relatively poor tensile, tear strength and abrasion resistance limits use to static applications. These weaknesses can be improved somewhat by reinforcement with fine, high surface area fillers which are compatible chemically with the silicone polymer itself. Silicone does possess extraordinary resistance to oxidation and ozone degradation due to the absence of unsaturated double bonds in the polymer backbone. Since it is fully saturated, only peroxides can be used for hot vulcanization processes. Resistance of silicone vulcanizates to gas permeation is generally considered to be poor, as much as 100 times greater than nitrile or butyl, but it is frequently specified in food and beverage applications as it does not impart any taste or odor. However, the automotive industry accounts for almost 50% of silicone usage in the U.S. annually.

How to calculated O-Ring cord length needed:

( ( OD + ID ) / 2 ) x Pi = length Pi=3.14159
Inside Diameter (ID) = Outside Diameter (OD) - twice the cross section (C/S)
ID = OD - (2 x C/S)

Make your own O-rings with O-ring Cord and O-ring Glue. How To Make an O-ring:

To calculate the correct length of cord required, (( OD + ID ) / 2 ) x Pi = Length. This will then give the correct length of cord required. Using the splicing aid and a very sharp knife. make a cut in the material at a right angle. All surfaces to be glued must be free of oil or grease. Avoid touching the surfaces. A thin layer of Cyanoacrylate Adhesive O-ring Glue should be spread over one side of the cut. A thin layer provides the best results. In order to join the two sides cleanly, use the V section on the splicing aid. Match both surfaces together and press firmly for 15 seconds. The glue must dry for 60 seconds before mounting the O-ring.

*For use in static applications only.
