AS568-462 WN70 FDA White (NBR) Buna-N 70 Duro O-Ring

Dimensions: 16-1/2" ID x 17" OD x 1/4" CS

The AS568-462 is a Buna-N (Nitrile) 70A durometer O-Ring with an inside diameter of 16.455 inches and a cross-section of 0.275 inches. It is built for everyday sealing in oil, fuel and hydraulic systems. This O-Ring is stocked and shipped same-day by The O-Ring Store LLC, an ISO 9001:2015 certified distributor.

Stop leaks in oil, fuel and hydraulic systems with the AS568-462 Buna-N (Nitrile) O-Ring. This 70A durometer seal resists petroleum oils, fuels and hydraulic fluids from -40F to +225F. That makes it a solid pick for the jobs below, and a reliable replacement when a lesser O-Ring swells, cracks or takes a set.

Operating Temperature: -40 to +225F (-40 to +107C)

Material and Performance Details

Buna-N, also known as Nitrile or NBR, is the workhorse of the O-Ring world. It gives strong resistance to petroleum oils, fuels and hydraulic fluids at a fair price, which is why it fits so many everyday sealing jobs. It has good abrasion resistance and holds its shape under squeeze. The 70A durometer gives good squeeze and a firm seal without going brittle.

• Excellent resistance to: petroleum oils, hydraulic fluids, water, silicone greases, ethylene glycol, gasoline, diesel, LP gases and mineral oils
• Limited capability with: Skydrol, high ozone, sunlight and dilute acids
• Not compatible with: ketones such as MEK and acetone, esters, chlorinated hydrocarbons, strong acids, ozone and glycol brake fluid

Applications and Use Cases

White Buna-N is the food-grade version of nitrile, built with FDA-listed ingredients for parts that contact food, drink or skin. It is used in the food and cosmetic industry: food and beverage processing, dairy equipment, bottling and filling lines, and cosmetic manufacturing, where you need the oil and grease resistance of nitrile in a clean, food-safe compound. It keeps the same petroleum oil and fuel resistance as standard black Buna-N, so it still seals pumps, valves and fittings on the equipment side. Confirm the FDA grade for your application and we can send documentation on request.
