dxtseals.com NBR and silicone O-ring seals are widely used in hydraulic pumps due to their excellent sealing performance and resistance to various fluids. NBR (Nitrile Butadiene Rubber) offers superior oil and abrasion resistance, making it ideal for high-pressure environments, while silicone O-rings provide outstanding temperature flexibility and durability. Understanding the key features and applications of these materials can help in choosing the right O-ring for hydraulic systems, ensuring optimal performance and longevity.
