Apple Rubber Offers Microring™ Seals for Wide Variety of Microminiature Sealing Applications

Apple Rubber Products offers MicrOring™ seals for microminiature applications in more than 2,000 sizes, ranging from the largest, with an inside diameter or cross section of .039 in. (1.0 mm), down to .008 in. (.20 mm) inside diameter and cross section -- the smallest size O-ring in the world. As a general definition, a MicrOring seal is any O-ring less than 1 mm in either inside diameter or cross section.

Apple Rubber offers the largest selection of microminiature O-ring sizes available anywhere, many from stock for immediate delivery. The company is also a leader in custom-engineered microminiature sealing solutions, including composite MicrOring seals which incorporate the seal and another component in one part instead of two. MicrOring seals are available in a range of materials including Buna-N, EPDM, silicone, Neoprene, Viton^® and fluorosilicone. Special compounds and materials are also available. Apple Rubber's quality assurance program offers both material and dimensional validation, even on the smallest seals.
