*The polyacrylate o-ring compound attributes are used to outline the basic properties. Polyacrylate o-ring attributes can be adjusted by modifying the basic compound.
*Due to the number of interacting forces, it is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED THAT YOUR ELASTOMER SELECTION BE RIGOROUSLY TESTED IN THE ACTUAL APPLICATION, performance assumptions must be checked so that you are certain that all variables have been carefully considered.
*The chemical compatibility and physical properties are listed as general characteristics of the polyacrylate o-ring compound. Speciality compounds can be derived to enhance or modify the performance to meet o-ring’s application needs.

Standard AS568 Polyacrylate O-Rings
All polyacrylate AS568 o-rings have three measurement types. First, a nominal inch reference, then actual inch sizes, and finally the metric size displayed in millimeters. Polyacrylate o-rings cataloged by their AS568 number. This number references the Aerospace Standard 568 (AS 568) which was published by the SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers). Each o-ring is assigned a dash number which correlates directly to an exact o-ring size. You may view a complete chart of these o-ring sizes
here.Standard Metric Polyacrylate O-Rings
Polyacrylate O-rings can be made in several metric sizes. Polyacrylate metric O-rings are cataloged by their cross section and inside diameter. Columbia references the metric polyacrylate o-rings by the compound number and the cross section along with the inside diameter. You may view a complete chart of the metric o-ring sizes
here.
Polyacrylates are copolymers of ethyl and acrylates which exhibit excellent resistance to petroleum fuels and oils and can retain their properties when sealing petroleum oils at continuous high temperatures up to 300 °F. Polyacrylate orings are frequently used in automotive steering and automatic transmission systems. The Polyacrylate o-ring is commonly referred to as a ethyl-acrylate o-ring or ACM o-rings. Columbia offers Polyacrylate o-rings as a speciality oring compound.
