what material are o-rings made from
Tip: Rubber O-ring. We get some inquiries from website viewers who are looking for a natural rubber o-ring so we thought we would publish a few words about what a rubber o-ring really is. It is virtually impossible to find an o-ring that is made from natural rubber - the stuff that comes from rubber trees - today. What you will find instead is a product that is made out of a synthetic material, called an elastomer, that looks, feels and behaves like one might think natural rubber would.
