Are you familiar with the special types of treatment applicable to O-rings?
Treatment designed to improve the performance of O-rings
Standard elastomer O-rings sometimes need to undergo special surface treatment. This will enhance the performance of the equipment and levels of productivity in the assembly and mounting processes in which these seals are used.
We at JIOrings treat the surface of O-rings using special cleaning, immersion or coating...
Silrings, JIOrings’ composite PTFE seals
When unity is strength
JIOrings composite seals (known as Silrings) are a combination of the best of three materials: PTFE, bronze and NBR.
And it is the benefits of each of the three materials that make them unique gaskets, both for use in dynamic and static applications.
What is PTFE?
Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is an industrial-use plastic with a...
What is the service life of an O-ring?
Gaskets also age
We need to differentiate between the time for which a gasket can or should remain in storage and its time of use, or in other words, its passive shelf life and active service life.
The service life of O-rings is governed by international aerospace regulation SAE AS5316, which defines all storage and service life conditions for elastomer products:...

O-Rings for all four elements
Discover some applications of the sealing gaskets
Our seals are prepared to give their best in the 4 elements of nature (water, fire, earth and air), their main function being to ensure fluid tightness between the union of two surfaces, for example, in hydraulic cylinders and pneumatic cylinders. But the reality is that we can find them in an infinite number of “scenarios”...
FKM/FPM/Viton®, three names for the same rubber
Do you know what Viton® is?
Viton® is a trademark of a synthetic rubber and fluoropolymer elastomer commonly used in the manufacture of O-Rings. The name is a trademark registered by The Chemours Company and its international abbreviation is FPM (DIN/ISO denomination) or FKM (ASTM). It is also known as Fluoro-Elastomer or by its trade name, Viton.
The Viton® brand is by far...
What is Shore A Hardness?
Because hardness matters too…
This is one of the most used scales for measuring the hardness of elastomers. Although it is not the only one, apart from scale A there are scales B, C, D, 0 and 00. Of these, the Shore D scale is also used to measure the hardness of harder elastomers.
The hardness of an elastomer represents its stiffness against moderate stress, such as...
