Nitrile and Viton O-rings for the oil and gas industry
Add Your Heading Text Here In the oil and gas industry, where operations span upstream exploration, midstream transportation, and downstream refining, O-rings serve as critical sealing components that prevent costly leaks, ensure operational safety, and reduce unplanned downtime. Nitrile (NBR/Buna-N) and Viton® (FKM/FPM) are the two most widely used elastomers for O-rings in this sector, each offering distinct properties tailored to specific harsh conditions.
