• Flexible at Low Temperatures: Remains pliable even in cold environments.
• FDA Approved: Safe for food and beverage applications, ensuring no taste or odor is imparted.
• Resistance to Oxidation and Ozone: Exceptional durability against environmental degradation.

Limitations:

• Static Applications Recommended: Due to relatively poor tensile, tear strength, and abrasion resistance.
• Reinforcement Possible: Adding fine, high surface area fillers can enhance performance.

Applications:

• Food and Beverage Industry: Does not impart any taste or odor.
• Automotive Industry: Accounts for nearly 50% of silicone usage annually in the U.S.

How to Calculate O-Ring Cord Length Link: Calculating O-Ring Cord Cut-Length

To ensure you have the correct length of cord for your custom O-ring, use the following formula:

((OD + ID) / 2) x π = Length

Where:

• π = 3.14159
• Inside Diameter (ID) = Outside Diameter (OD) - twice the cross section (C/S)
• ID = OD - (2 × C/S)

How to Make an O-Ring:

1. Calculate the Length: Using the formula above, determine the required length of cord.
2. Prepare the Cord: Make a right-angle cut in the material using a sharp knife.
3. Clean Surfaces: Ensure all surfaces to be glued are free of oil or grease.
4. Apply Adhesive: Spread a thin layer of Suface Insensitive Cyanoacrylate Adhesive O-Ring Glue on one side of the cut.
5. Join the Ends: Use the V section on the splicing aid to align the surfaces and press firmly for 15 seconds.
6. Allow to Dry: Let the glue dry for 60 seconds before mounting the O-ring.
