Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Overtightening during assemblyTighten fasteners only to the torque specified in the equipment's service manual to prevent O-ring extrusion or compression set.
Using incompatible lubricantsConsult the O-ring material compatibility chart and equipment manufacturer's recommendations to select a lubricant that will not degrade the silicone.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic and Pneumatic Systems
  • Chemical Processing Equipment
  • High-Temperature Sealing

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid exposure to strong oxidizing agents and certain solvents that can degrade silicone.
  • Ensure proper groove design and gland fill to prevent extrusion under pressure.
