Selection: How to choose between Silicone, EPDM, and NBR for extreme micro-environments.
ENGINEERING SELECTION GUIDE
MATERIAL PERFORMANCE MATRIX
How to select the right elastomer for your micro-project:
🔥 SILICONE (VMQ)
Temp: -40 °C to 250 °C
Flow: Excellent (Best for 0.2 mm walls)
Key: Medical Grade & Biocompatibility.
☀️ EPDM
Temp: -50 °C to +150 °C
Flow: High Stability for industrial seals.
Key: Outstanding Ozone & Weather resistance.
⛽ NBR (NITRILE)
Temp: -30 °C to +120 °C
Flow: Precision Industrial Standard.
Key: Superior Oil & Fuel resistance.
CRITICAL SELECTION FACTORS
Chemical Environment: Does the part contact oils (use NBR) or medical fluids (use Silicone)?
Thermal Stress: For extreme heat above 150 °C Silicone is the only reliable choice.
Precision Integrity: For membranes thinner than 0.3 mm, our specialized VMQ (Silicone) formulas ensure zero-defect material flow.
