• Lusida Rubber Products is a company that
  manufactures a number of rubber, plastic, and
  fibre-glass products that are molded and
  extruded. One of their products is the O-Ring. It
  is a doughnut-shaped item that is most often used
  as a seal. O-Ring is quite effective as a seal as
  it blocks the flow of liquids and gasses where it
  has been installed. In the manufacturing world,
  it is the most commonly used seal. The design is
  simple and purpose-solving. O-Rings are easy to
  install and are affordable. They are classified
  into two types namely static seals and dynamic
  seals. The designing part and selection of
  materials is difficult in the case of the latter.
• The most commonly used material for O-Rings is
  nitrile. The other O-Ring materials are silicone,
  butyl, polyurethane, polychloroprene, Neoprene,

• fluorocarbon and fluorosilicone. The ones
  mentioned are a family of materials for O-Ring as
  their characteristics can be adjusted by changing
  their chemical composition and process of
  manufacture. Hardness is one characteristic that
  is most often adjusted in O-Ring materials.
  O-Rings have to meet certain industry standards
  such as that of the petroleum industry, food
  industry, military, automobile industry and
  aerospace. All these are kept in mind by the
