NBR 90A O-Ring
High-Hardness NBR O-Rings for Demanding Industrial Sealing Applications
When standard O-rings are not strong enough to handle high pressure, heavy loads, or aggressive operating conditions, NBR 90A O-Rings become the preferred solution.
Manufactured from premium 90 Shore A Nitrile Rubber (NBR), these O-rings provide superior resistance to compression, extrusion, abrasion, mineral oils, hydraulic fluids, and petroleum-based lubricants. Their higher hardness compared to standard 70 Shore A O-rings makes them particularly suitable for hydraulic systems, pneumatic equipment, automotive components, pumps, valves, and industrial machinery.
At Xiamen Jinshun Sealing Technology Co., Ltd., we manufacture both standard and custom NBR 90A O-Rings for global OEMs, distributors, and industrial equipment manufacturers. Since 2002, we have specialized in precision rubber sealing solutions with strict quality control and international material compliance.
Why Choose NBR 90A O-Rings?
The hardness of an O-ring directly affects its ability to withstand pressure and prevent extrusion.
Compared with standard 70 Shore A NBR O-rings, a 90 Shore A compound provides:
- Higher extrusion resistance
- Improved wear resistance
- Better sealing performance under high pressure
- Enhanced dimensional stability
- Longer service life in demanding applications
For hydraulic and pneumatic systems operating above 150 bar, engineers frequently specify 90A NBR O-rings to reduce seal deformation and extend maintenance intervals.

Key Performance Advantages
Excellent Oil and Fuel Resistance
NBR remains one of the most widely used sealing materials because of its excellent compatibility with:
- Hydraulic oils
- Mineral oils
- Lubricating greases
- Diesel fuel
- Gasoline
- Transmission fluids
This makes NBR 90A O-rings ideal for hydraulic cylinders, pumps, compressors, and automotive systems.
Superior Extrusion Resistance
High-pressure systems can force softer O-rings into sealing gaps, causing premature failure.
The increased hardness of a 90 Shore A compound significantly reduces:
- Seal extrusion
- Edge damage
- Compression deformation
- Leakage risks
This is particularly important in:
- Hydraulic valves
- High-pressure pumps
- Construction equipment
- Industrial machinery
Long Service Life
NBR 90A compounds offer:
- High wear resistance
- Excellent tear strength
- Good resilience
- Reduced maintenance frequency
For equipment manufacturers, this translates into lower warranty claims and improved equipment reliability.
