This chart matches the properties of rubber compounds required in most common O-Ring and custom molded rubber applications with the capabilities of commonly used rubber compounds. Because no single compound is rated "excellent" for all properties, compromises are sometimes necessary when selecting a compound. Summit Industries can assist in determining a suitable compound for your application.
