Constructed from Buna-N 90, a Nitrile (NBR) compound, these components are designed for creating seals in straight thread tube fittings, specifically of the BOSS Type, across various hydraulic systems. They find application in boss tube fittings, hydraulic and pneumatic equipment including motors, and cylinders, as well as in pumps and valves.
Frequently employed in settings that involve food, water, steam, phosphate ester-based hydraulic fluids, and brake fluids, EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) is notable for its excellent resistance to ozone and environmental degradation. The sulfur-cured FDA/NSF grade EPDM emerges as the most cost-effective choice, offering enhanced resistance to tearing and wear over its peroxide-cured counterparts. It is crucial, however, to recognize that EPDM is incompatible with petroleum oils or fuels, where it would experience considerable swelling.
