Nitrile O-rings are ring-shaped seals. They are made of nitrile, which is an elastomer that&#8217;s able to expand and contract in response to temperature changes. It&#8217;s essentially a \u00a0copolymer of butadiene and acrylonitrile. While O-rings are available in other materials, nitrile O-rings offer some attractive benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Oil Resistant<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When sealing oil hoses and passages, you may want to use nitrile O-rings. They offer excellent resistance to oil. They won&#8217;t damage or degrade. Even when directly exposed to oil over an extended period, nitrile O-rings will continue to seal the hose or passage with which they are used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Heat Resistant<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You don&#8217;t have to worry about heat damaging nitrile O-rings. As an elastomer, nitrile can withstand hot temperatures. Some nitrile O-rings, in fact, can withstand temperatures of up to 135 degrees Celsius. For sealing applications in which heat is a concern, you may want to choose nitrile O-rings for their heat-resistant properties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Readily Available<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Nitrile O-rings are readily available. They are one of the most common types of O-rings. More O-rings are made of nitrile than any other elastomer. With their widespread, nitrile O-rings are inexpensive and easy to find, thus making them a popular choice among businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Supports Compounding<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Nitrile O-rings can be compounded. When compounded, the properties of nitrile O-rings will change. You can use compounding to increase their resistance to sunlight, for example. By default, nitrile O-rings boast a low level of protection against the sun&#8217;s ultraviolet (UV) rays. Compounding, though, will increase their UV protection. If you&#8217;re planning to use them outdoors where they will be exposed to the sun, compounding can extend the life of your nitrile O-rings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Chemical Resistant<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Another benefit of nitrile O-rings is chemical resistance. They are highly resistant to chemicals. Like all O-rings, nitrile O-rings are typically used around the mating surfaces of hoses. These hoses may carry chemicals, such as fuel, oil or coolant. While chemicals may degrade other types of O-rings, they won&#8217;t interfere with the function of nitrile O-rings. Nitrile O-rings will continue to seal the hose while preventing the chemical from leaking out of the hose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Strong and Durable<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You can rest assured knowing that nitrile O-rings are strong and durable. When exposed to heat and\/or pressure, they will expand. As the heat and\/or pressure goes away, they will contract. Under normal operations, nitrile O-rings will repeat these cycles without succumbing to damage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nitrile is commonly used in the construction of seals, including O-rings.
