Nok Corporation
Nok Hydrogen-Resistant O-rings

Manufacturer: Nok.
Features
- Compared with general-purpose EPDM and VMQ, it uses E9079, a low-temperature EPDM material for hydrogen resistance, which has excellent low-temperature properties, and a special VMQ
material. - Since the compression set is small, it is difficult to sag and has a long service life.
*EPDM = Ethylene Propylene Rubber
*VMQ = Silicone Rubber
