Coated O-rings are a popular solution used in various industrial
applications due to their benefits such as friction reduction, ease of
installation, and identification. Different coatings such as dry or wet
coatings are used based on the application specifics and O-ring polymer
type. Our material experts can assist you in determining the best material
for your application
One such coating is PTFE Coated Colored O-Rings, which provide excellent
friction and adhesion properties compared to traditional PTFE coatings. They
are dry to the touch and adhere to the O-Ring using Silicone or Viton®.
These coatings are suitable for applications that require Hypalon, Aegis,
Aflas, Butyl, Fluorosilicone, or any other specific compound.
Teflon Coated O-Rings have several benefits, including easy installation
with outstanding release properties and low frictional resistance in dynamic
applications. They have high weathering, chemical & abrasion resistance, and
prevent sticking, twisting, and tearing of parts in automation assembly.
These rings have a long shelf life and are highly durable, visually
attractive, easily recognizable, and available in various colors and sizes.
They are also suitable for use in some dynamic applications where
traditional PTFE would not be recommended.
