Precision Sealing for Every System: Silicone Sealing Rings Engineered to Last
A seal may look simple, but it defines the reliability of an entire system. From coffee machines to medical pumps and industrial valves, silicone sealing rings form the invisible line between performance and failure.
At Leadonex, precision is the foundation. As a trusted silicone sealing ring manufacturer, the company blends engineering accuracy, material innovation, and ISO-certified production to create seals that perform flawlessly—across heat, pressure, and time.
Material Science: Why Silicone Excels Where Others Fail
Rubber gaskets degrade. Plastic seals warp. But silicone maintains structure and elasticity over years of stress. Its unique molecular structure—long-chain siloxane bonds—delivers flexibility and endurance under extreme conditions.
Key performance traits:
-
Wide temperature range: −60 °C – +230 °C, ideal for thermal cycling.
-
Superior elasticity: Retains original shape after 10 000 compression cycles.
-
Chemical resistance: Inert to oils, acids, alkalis, and detergents.
-
Non-toxic & odor-free: Certified for direct food and beverage contact (FDA & LFGB).
-
Aging resistance: UV-stable, ozone-proof, and non-yellowing.
These properties make silicone the sealing material of choice across automotive, medical, food processing, and appliance industries.
Design & Engineering: Beyond Simple Geometry
A reliable seal depends on more than material—it’s about precision geometry. Leadonex engineers each sealing ring with advanced CNC-cut steel molds and digital measurement systems ensuring ±0.02 mm dimensional accuracy.
Design considerations include:
-
Compression ratio optimization for uniform sealing pressure.
-
Cross-section customization: O-ring, D-ring, flat gasket, or bespoke profile.
-
Shore A hardness tuning (30–80): balancing flexibility and strength.
-
Multi-color coding for easy assembly line identification.
-
Surface finish control to reduce friction and enhance sealing tightness.
This attention to detail ensures consistent sealing—even under variable torque or irregular flange surfaces.
Food-Grade vs. Industrial-Grade Silicone Rings
| Feature | Food-Grade Silicone | Industrial-Grade Silicone |
|---|---|---|
| Certification | FDA / LFGB | ISO / RoHS |
| Temperature Range | −40 °C – +200 °C | −60 °C – +230 °C |
| Chemical Resistance | Neutral to oils, acids | Resistant to solvents, fuels |
| Color Options | Transparent / Milk white | Red, gray, black |
| Applications | Cookware, bottle lids, blenders | Pumps, valves, HVAC, machinery |
Leadonex supplies both grades under strict batch traceability, allowing clients to meet regulatory and operational demands simultaneously.
Leadonex Manufacturing Workflow
Precision isn’t a single step—it’s a process built from the ground up.
-
Material selection: Platinum-cured silicone compound with uniform viscosity.
-
Mold preparation: CNC steel molds with anti-adhesion surface treatment.
-
Injection molding: Vacuum-based compression to eliminate air pockets.
-
Curing & post-bake: Ensures structural stability and removes volatile residues.
-
Trimming & inspection: Automated edge removal and visual QC.
-
Testing: Dimensional scan, tensile strength, and leakage validation.
-
Packaging: Cleanroom sealing for food-grade products.
Each ring passes through a fully documented ISO 9001 quality system, guaranteeing repeatable performance and safety compliance.

Typical Application Fields
| Industry | Function | Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Food & beverage | Container lid seals | Odorless, BPA-free, heat-proof |
| Automotive | Engine & sensor gaskets | Withstand oil, heat, vibration |
| Medical devices | Fluid pumps & valves | Sterilizable and biocompatible |
| Home appliances | Coffee machines, blenders | Prevents leakage and corrosion |
| Industrial machinery | Hydraulic and pneumatic systems | Resilient under pressure cycles |
This diversity shows why silicone sealing rings are not just parts—they are essential performance enablers.
Testing, Compliance & Quality Assurance
Every batch of Leadonex seals is tested beyond standard parameters:
-
Compression set test: ≤ 20 % deformation after 22 hrs at 175 °C.
-
Tensile strength: ≥ 7 MPa for industrial grade.
-
Elongation at break: ≥ 400 %.
-
Volatile residue test: ≤ 0.5 % (food-grade).
-
Leakage simulation: Pressure-tight up to 0.6 MPa.
All data are traceable and verified under RoHS / REACH / FDA / LFGB frameworks.
