Parker Hannifin Low Temperature Elastomers
Parker Hannifin low temperature materials are engineered for sealing applications operating in cold environments where standard elastomers may harden, shrink, lose flexibility, or fail to maintain sealing force. These compounds are commonly used in O-rings, gaskets, custom molded rubber parts, diaphragms, valve seals, and dynamic sealing systems exposed to subzero temperatures, outdoor weather conditions, cryogenic environments, and low temperature fluids. Low temperature elastomer materials are widely used in aerospace, automotive, refrigeration, energy, industrial gas, and outdoor equipment applications where flexibility and sealing reliability at cold temperatures are critical.
Canyon Components supplies high quality equivalents to many Parker low temperature elastomer compounds used throughout industrial and aerospace sealing systems. Our team supports replacement O-rings, gaskets, and custom parts manufactured from low temperature FKM, HNBR, Silicone, Fluorosilicone, EPDM, and specialty FFKM materials designed for cold weather and extreme low temperature performance. We also provide engineering support for material selection, low temperature flexibility analysis, and dynamic sealing applications.

Features of Parker Hannifin Low Temperature Materials
- Low temperature elastomer compounds are designed to maintain flexibility and sealing force in cold operating environments
- These materials help reduce hardening, shrinkage, and compression set issues associated with low temperature exposure
- Specialized FKM compounds such as GLT and GFLT types provide improved cold flexibility compared to standard FKM materials
- Silicone and Fluorosilicone compounds offer excellent low temperature performance across broad operating ranges
- Certain HNBR and EPDM compounds provide good low temperature sealing capability with strong mechanical durability
- Canyon Components supplies equivalent low temperature sealing materials with strong availability, engineering support, and rapid lead times
Limitations of Parker Hannifin Low Temperature Materials
- Materials optimized for extreme low temperature flexibility may have reduced abrasion resistance or lower high temperature capability
- Certain low temperature compounds may exhibit higher gas permeability compared to standard elastomers
- Silicone compounds provide excellent flexibility but may have lower tear resistance and wear resistance in aggressive dynamic applications
- Standard FKM compounds generally have poor low temperature flexibility compared to GLT, GFLT, Silicone, or specialty formulations
- Cryogenic sealing applications may require specialized gland design considerations due to thermal contraction
- Not all low temperature compounds provide strong resistance to fuels, oils, steam, or aggressive chemicals
