TFE-O-SIL® combines the best qualities of two materials, FEP or PFA on the outside with its chemical inertness and an elastomer on the inside for resilience. This unique combination forms a highly effective, long lasting seal for the most demanding applications. - Superior chemical resistance and durability in extreme temperatures. - Their dual-material design combines resilience and chemical inertness for a long-lasting, effective seal.

Each user should conduct evaluations to determine the suitability for his particular application. ROW, INC. offers no express or implied warranties concerning the form, fit, or function of a product in any application.  Square cross-section TFE-O-SIL® Rings can be used in applications where a larger sealing surface is needed to effect a more positive seal. These Rings require less squeeze than standard O-Rings for sealing and utilize the same groove dimensions. **Small ID Encapsulated O-Ring Ovality** Standard TFE-O-SIL® O-Rings in round or square cross-sections are manufactured in sizes to AS 568A industry standards. Non-standard sizes are also available for custom designs, along with a full range of metric (ISO) sizes. > [*Click here for installation tips!*](https://row-inc.com/shelf-life-0?hsLang=en) ### Resilience and Chemical Resistance Redefined TFE-O-SIL® O-Rings are available in over 60 standard cross-section sizes from .063" (1.60mm) to 1-1/4" (31.75mm). Standard TFE-O-SIL® O-Rings are comprised of FEP over Silicone, Viton™, or EPDM, and can be used in temperatures from -75° to +400°F (-60° to +205°C) depending upon the choice of elastomer core. For high temperature applications to 500°F (260°C), TFE-O-SIL® is made with PFA over silicone. PFA has higher mechanical strength than FEP or TFE at elevated temperatures and has excellent crack and stress resistance. Encapsulated O-Rings are primarily used as a static seal (axial or radial). ![IMG_8893](https://row-inc.com/hs-fs/hubfs/IMG_8893.jpg?width=932&height=730&name=IMG_8893.jpg "IMG_8893") **FEP-encapsulated O-Rings (Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene):** - Outstanding chemical and corrosion resistance - Low coefficient of friction - Resilience with choice of elastomeric cores - Low compression set - Temperature range: -75°F to 400°F (-60°C to 205°C) - Unlimited sizes (No tooling charges) - Solid & hollow silicone, Viton™ cores - FDA compliant materials available - USP Class VI approved materials available PFA-encapsulated O-Rings (Perfluoroalkoxy). Same as FEP above but with these added benefits: - High temperature applications to 500°F (260°C) - Higher mechanical strength - Better flex-life - Low vapor permeation - Excellent stress and crack resistance - Longer wearability - Solid silicone & Viton™ core **Square Cross-Section Ring Seals. Same as FEP above plus:** - Retrofits into standard O-Ring groove - Larger sealing surface - Less squeeze required for sealing - Effects more positive seal - Rectangular cross-sections also available - Solid silicone & Viton™ core   *\*Orders are not refundable* Related Resources - [Cross-section sizes](https://row-inc.com/cross-section-and-groove-design-data?hsLang=en) - [Small ID Encapsulated O-Ring Ovality](https://row-inc.com/small-id-encapsulated-o-ring?hsLang=en) - [Technical Specifications](https://row-inc.com/technical-specifications?hsLang=en) - [Test Reports](https://row-inc.com/material-test-reports?hsLang=en) - [Engineering Tools](https://row-inc.com/engineering-tools?hsLang=en) - [Home](https://row-inc.com) - [About Us](https://row-inc.com/about-us) - [Blog](https://row-inc.com/blog) - [Resources](https://row-inc.com/resources) - [O-Rings](https://row-inc.com/fep-and-pfa-encapsulated-o-rings) - [Gaskets](https://row-inc.com/fep-encapsulated-gaskets) - [More products](https://row-inc.com/more-products) - [Why ROW](https://row-inc.com/why-row) Manufacturers of quality encapulated O-Rings since 1976 [mailto:sales@row-inc.com](mailto:sales@row-inc.com) - [Contact Us](https://row-inc.com/contact-us) ![BLACK_ISO-9001_ANAB_BLACK](https://row-inc.com/hs-fs/hubfs/BLACK_ISO-9001_ANAB_BLACK.png?width=1030&height=507&name=BLACK_ISO-9001_ANAB_BLACK.png "BLACK_ISO-9001_ANAB_BLACK") © 2025 All rights reserved. - [General terms and condition of sale](https://row-inc.com/general-terms-and-condition-of-sale) ```json { "@context" : "http://www.schema.org", "@type" : "product", "aggregateRating" : { "@type" : "aggregateRating", "bestRating" : "5", "ratingValue" : "5", "reviewCount" : "1" }, "brand" : "ROW Incorporated", "description" : "TFE-O-SIL® Silicone, Viton™ or EPDM O-Rings encapsulated with FEP or PFA are designed to address the growing problem of sealing in the most hostile chemical and temperature environments.
