Which material should I pick?

Full comparison on our Materials Guide.

  • Hot parts with oil or fuel (engines, exhaust) → Viton (FKM)
  • Hot parts, no oil (ovens, HVAC) → Silicone
  • Oil or fuel (pumps, hydraulics, petroleum) → Buna-N (Nitrile) — or Viton for higher heat
  • Water / outdoor / sun → EPDM
  • General automotive or light oil → Neoprene
  • Chemicals / aggressive fluids → PTFE (Teflon) — or Viton for high heat plus chemicals
  • Soft seal / uneven surfaces / low pressure → Cork blends

We CNC cut (laser, waterjet, and more) to ±0.015″. Up to 32.5″ × 32.5″ for most materials; the quote tool shows the exact limit for the one you pick. Ships in one business day. Large orders may take longer.

How to measure

  1. Measure the outside size — diameter for rounds, or length × width for rectangles and squares.
  2. Measure the inside opening and any holes (ID, bolt holes, bolt circle if it is a flange).
  3. Note the thickness you need — pick it in the quoter.
  4. Enter sizes in inches.
