O-Ring 235mm x 25.4mm FEP Encapsulated Silicone Red -60°C to +204°C FDA USP Class VI 3-A

FEP Encapsulated Silicone is a high-performance sealing material that combines the excellent elasticity and temperature stability of silicone with the chemical resistance and inertness of FEP (Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene). This unique combination makes it ideal for applications that require exceptional sealing performance in extreme environments because the elastomer core assists with the slow recovery of the FEP jacket. FEP encapsulation enhances silicone's properties, offering improved chemical resistance, high-temperature stability, and long-term durability, while maintaining the flexibility and low compression set characteristics that silicone is known for.
