What material is Surefire O-Rings made of?

amlim · Nov 13, 2005

I am wondering if anyone can tell me what are Surefire O-rings made of? For example silicione, rubber, etc.

Reason being I am wondering if it is safe to use silicone grease to lube the o-rings. Note: Maybe it is too late for me to ask as I have been doing that for a whole year. :ohgeez:

Its made of rubber. Not only is it safe to lubricate them with silicone grease its recommended by surefire to be done on a yearly basis.

I think silicone lube/grease is what is always recommended for virtually everything?

Take my word and don't try it on your contact lenses...

Probably made of buna or viton.

Buna: polymerizing butadiene

Viton: flurocarbon elastomer

WORD!!!!!

Man, i have lubed a light and accidently rubbed my eye with just the back of the hand, and had to use miraflow heavy duty contact cleaner, an enzyme
the damn thing to keep it from rotating on top of my I-ball, i guess to see if i really did have a brain, or was just that stupid to rub my eye after using silicone
