Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Overstretching the O-ring during installation.Gently guide the O-ring into the groove without excessive pulling. If necessary, use specialized O-ring installation tools.
Using incompatible lubricants or sealants.Always consult the material compatibility chart for Buna-N and the specific fluids in the application. Use only approved lubricants.
Installing on dirty or damaged mating surfaces.Thoroughly clean and inspect mating surfaces for any nicks, burrs, or corrosion before installation to prevent leaks and premature failure.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic systems
  • Pneumatic equipment
  • Automotive fuel systems
  • Chemical processing equipment
  • Industrial pumps and valves

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Not suitable for high-temperature applications exceeding Buna-N's operational limits.
  • Avoid exposure to strong oxidizing agents, ketones, and esters, which can degrade Buna-N.
  • Ensure proper groove design and tolerances for optimal sealing performance.
