O-ring cords
O-ring cords can be found in several different materials. Material selection for any application is based on chemical compatibility, application temperature, sealing pressure, lubrication requirements and durometer.
Extruded o ring cord is available by the metre in many materials and in a range of diameters from 1mm to 30mm.
O ring cord – available materials:
- Nitrile (NBR)
- Viton® (FKM)

Where are O-ring cords used?
O-ring cords are commonly used on non-moving machinery and static sealing applications to keep air, other gases, and liquids from passing in or out of any given area. They are especially prevalent in pneumatic and hydraulic systems. O-ring cord has a clear advantage for fitting seals to special dimensions that standard stock O-rings may not cater to.
Tolerances
The standard extruded cord is produced to tolerances according to the Standard ISO 3302-1.
M Seals also offer a special premium cord with tolerances according to ISO 3601-1. This cord is used for production of our M-Quick O-rings and the end product is fully comparable to a standard moulded o-ring. The M Seals premium cord is in compliance with FDA, 3A, USP etc. All approvals can be provided with full certification.
