• Every kind of manufacturing industry requires a
  seal for its items that is reliable enough and
  serves the purpose along with meeting the
  standards and specifications. The most commonly
  used seals in the manufacturing world are
  o-rings. They are easy to install, are not costly
  and do their job of sealing perfectly. O-ring
  seals are usually of two types static and
  dynamic. The one that requires more amount of
  work on the design and material sourcing part is
  the dynamic seal. Such seals are used for
  hydraulic cylinders and actuators.
• The basis of selecting o-rings includes the
  following
• Quality
• Quantity
• Price
• Chemical compatibility
• Application temperature
• Sealing pressure

• The materials used to make it are wide and varied
  along with the sizes. There
• are more than thousands of sizes and
  specifications. For instance, in order to be used
  in military or aerospace the o-ring
  specifications are different from those meant for
  other purposes such as food processing, drinking
  water and pharmaceuticals.
• The materials that are used most commonly to make
  o-rings are the following
• Nitrile
• Ethylene-Propylene
• Silicone
• Cast Polyurethane
• Neoprene / CR
• Fluorocarbon
• Fluorosilicone

• Different materials are used for different
  applications. All the requirements are met at
  Lusida Rubber Products and every tiny detail is
  taken into account during the manufacture of
  o-rings.
• The most commonly used seals in the manufacturing
