High Performance Polyurethane Material: High Performance Urethane with 53 Shore D hardness rating. Application: These Backup rings feature exceptional strength and abrasion resistance that makes them suitable for high-pressure service where extrusion is a problem. Primarily used as a U-seal backup but these rings are also used with O-rings. They also retrofit Teflon and Urethane Backup rings with greater performance characteristics. |
