Simrit Sealing Solutions
What is Simriz®?
Simrit is the industrial sealing products division of the Freudenberg and NOK Group companies, a $12 billion global company and the world’s largest supplier of elastomeric seals and custom molded products. As part of an outstanding worldwide network, Simrit is well integrated with global manufacturing centers, able to provide total sealing solutions, field engineering support, and superior customer service.
In an industry where cutting costs can never mean cutting corners, our full line of Simriz® perfluoroelastomer compounds delivers the ultimate in performance and value. In fact, it is Simrit’s development of proprietary materials at our state-of-the-art, 55,000-square-foot technology center that allows us to supply O-rings and seals for a wide variety of industry applications. We control the entire clean-room manufacturing process—from base polymer through molding—with no outsourcing or middle men, which cuts cost yet enables us to provide products that are better than Six Sigma quality.
Simriz is a family of perfluoroelastomer compounds developed solely by Simrit and designed to provide superior chemical resistance and thermal stability. Simriz possesses the resilience of an elastomer with chemical resistance approaching that of PTFE.
The appeal and versatility of Simriz is in its universal chemical resistance. Each Simriz compound has additional properties to meet specific application requirements.
Simrit’s full range of high-quality standard and custom-blended Simriz sealing elastomers are manufactured in our fully accredited clean rooms with ISO/TS 16949 and ISO 9001 certifications. In addition, the Santa Ana, California, facility also carries the AS 9100 aerospace certification.
The Freudenberg-NOK organization draws from more than 150 years of experience and offers quality, well-known brand names including Freudenberg®, NOK®, International Seal®, Simriz®, Disogrin®, and Merkel™. Call Simrit today at 1-866-274-6748 to find out how our total sealing solutions can benefit you. Or visit www.simrit.com.
Patented cross-linking systemBy selecting the right cross-linking system, we have optimized the beneficial properties of Simriz. Simriz materials are cross-linked using peroxide or a patented cross-linking system. This provides Simriz seals with excellent chemical resistance ranging from organic amines and steam to plasma and etch resistance.
Simriz O-rings and molded shapes are available in many different Simriz compounds. Each compound is specifically designed to optimize the following criteria and to meet market specific application needs:
Broad chemical resistance
Mechanical properties (hardness, tensile strength, elongation, etc.)
Compression set resistance
High-temperature capability
Low-temperature flexibility

Simriz perfluoroelastomers demonstrate a wide range of temperature stability. Simrit has developed Simriz 481 for low-temperature flexibility. Typical perfluoroelastomers available today have excellent chemical resistance, but they lack flexibility at temperatures below 0°C. Simriz 481 ensures low-temperature sealability and chemical resistance in temperature applications to –20°C.

Simrit ManufacturingGiven the tremendous costs and quality concerns involved in today’s manufacturing, we are proud to supply your industry with the most reliable sealing solutions in the world. Simrit manufacturing is exceptionally lean and reduces in-process inventory and waste while increasing quality that already far exceeds industry standards.
By focusing on individual parts versus batch processing, problems are isolated and corrected without jeopardizing an entire production run. Moreover, we continually push to exceed our Six Sigma certification, using state-of-the-art automated vision systems to detect flaws imperceptible to the human eye. In fact, Simrit manufacturing provides better than Six Sigma quality. The purity of our seals is paramount, as evidenced by our dedicated clean-room manufacturing and packaging facility in LaGrange, Georgia. Our manufacturing edge carries over to our Santa Ana, California, facility where many of Simrit’s materials are expertly molded.
Simrit quality certificates include: AS9100, EN9100, ISO/TS 16949, Nadcap, A2LA Laboratory, Qualifas EASE, and many customer-specific approvals. Simrit materials meet and exceed AMS, MIL, AS, NAS, NFL, and NSA specifications.

Simrit Seal Design and TestingSimrit also employs a variety of methods to test actual parts to ensure that the predicted performance matches the results seen in the real world.
Product testing includes:
Physical properties (tensile, elongation, modulus, compression set, etc.)
Fluid compatibility
Air aging
Temperature
Pressures
Static/dynamic testing
Durability testing
Fire tests
Environmental conditioning
Material compounding and manufacturing quality are both critical to a seal’s ultimate performance. The third contributing factor is the original part design. Simrit looks beyond the individual component to consider the entire system including mating surfaces, operating environment, and media to be sealed. Our Finite Element Analysis
(FEA) simulates the environmental conditions each seal will experience in actual operation. For example, FEA allows us to design parts with computer modeling to simulate stress levels within the system and optimize the design for maximum life. This modeling lowers cost, speeds the development process, and provides a more robust part.
The Simrit Performance PackageSimrit is uniquely positioned to provide a total package of services unmatched in the industry. Through close cooperation between Simrit Americas, Simrit Europe, and our Japanese partner, NOK, in Asia, our goal is to provide our customers with an “unfair advantage”. Our global network provides access to the highest quality, most robust sealing components anywhere in the world.
The Simrit Performance Package at a glance:
World’s largest product range—Complete solutions from a single source
Constant innovation—Technological innovations providing competitive advantage to our customers
Unique materials expertise and the highest quality— Six Sigma quality throughout our entire range of materials, including many proprietary compounds
Integrated services—Wide range of services for customer support from product conception through implementation
“Globality”—Global presence with local representation
Simrit’s global network enables us to produce and supply parts closer to where they are needed, reducing response time and lowering overall costs. Providing global support to all of our customers speeds design and validation time, and can reduce the number of vendors and parts numbers needed.
