Metal-O-Ring-Face-Seal

Metal O-Rings
Durable Seals Resistant to Environmental Degradation

These metal face seals are long lasting seals and unlike non-metallic seals, they are not subject to failure due to incompatibility with the environment, outgassing, or deterioration from age.

Since O-Ring seals are used as static face type seals, they should not be used as a dynamic seal. While the majority of seals are circular, these seals can also be produced in rectangular, racetrack, and other various shapes and configurations. Metal O-rings are typically used in hot mold equipment, nuclear reactor vessels and gas turbines.

Is this Component PFAS-Free*?

By its nature, this component is PFAS-Free*.

Contact our engineers to learn more and start the discussion on how we can support you to meet the requirements of your application.

* PFAS-Free here means we do not intentionally add PFAS material in the product, but does not exclude the possibility of traces, as these materials are common in the environment.
