O-Rings and Seals
Problem Solving Products, Inc.

our procedures are impeccable

We focus on establishing long-term relationships and exceeding our customer expectations.

Our specialty is solving sealing problems for original equipment manufacturers. We carry o-rings, seals, custom molded rubber parts, wipers, diaphrams, valves and u-cups in all types of materials including Viton®, Kalrez®, Chemraz®, Viton® Extreme™ ETP, Simriz®, nitrile (buna-n), neoprene, rubber, silicone, polyurethane and teflon encapsulated elastomers.

We are certified to sell Viton®, Kalrez® and Viton® Extreme ETP by DuPont Performance Elastomers. Please contact us at (303) 758-2728 if you need help with a sealing problem.

 

Viton® o-rings and sealsViton® and Viton® Extreme ETP O-rings and Seals

Viton® fluoroelastomer has excellent (400°F/200°C) heat resistance and is very resistant to aggressive fuels and chemicals. There are four families of Viton® polymers: A, B, F and Viton® Extreme ETP.

 

Kalrez® O-rings and Seals

Kalrez® resists over 1,800 different chemicals while offering high temperature stability (600°F/316°C). It is used in highly aggressive chemical processing, semiconductor wafer processing and other demanding sealing applications.

 

elastomers for o-rings and sealsElastomers for O-rings and Seals

Choosing the right elastomer for your application is very important. If you are not careful you can choose the very best, such as a Viton® Extreme seal or Kalrez® o-ring, when a cheaper elastomer would actually work better.

 

elastomer propertiesElastomer Properties

The proper o-ring and seal design depends on a knowledge of many elastomer properties such as hardness, tensile strength, compressive response, compression set, stress relaxation, abrasion resistance and tear resistance.

 

seal design theorySeal Design Theory

The use of an o-ring as a seal is mainly to prevent the transfer of fluid (liquid, solid or gas) between two or more regions. Successful seal design ensures adequate seal compressive force while minimizing the destructive stress acting on the o-ring.

 

o-ring and seal failure analysis
Seal Failure Analysis O-rings and seals fail for many reasons. It is useful to analyze the environment, seal design and elastomer when there is a failure

 

 

Fluid CompatibilityFluid Compatibility Charts

Before designing an o-ring or seal, it is important to know how compatible the elastomer is with all the chemicals that will contact it.

o-ring cordAS568A O-ring Sizes

AS568A o-ring sizes are standard throughout the o-ring industry and also in most military applications. We carry all AS568A sizes, many non-standard metric sizes and can manufacture any o-ring size to your specifications.

 

we serve many industriesIndustries We Serve

We supply products to every industry including food processing, aerospace, chemical processing, semiconductor, pharmaceutical and the automotive industry. We can supply a small number of specialized o-rings for a research design project or a huge quantity to original equipment manufacturers.

 

product informationProduct Information (partial list)

We carry products in all materials including Viton®, Kalrez®, Chemraz®, Viton® Extreme ETP, Simriz®, nitrile (buna-n), silicone, rubber, neoprene, polyurethane and teflon encapsulated elastomers. We have all sizes and shapes, everything from x-rings to u-cups.

 

Problems Solved

We solve problems by analyzing each individual application in depth. The seal design is critically important and it must be sized right. Otherwise, the seal will fail, perhaps with disastrous results. This was the case with train that that leaked oil and started fires all along the track.
