All Cressi-sub regulators are supplied with NBR O-rings and all inner components are greased with silicone, that guarantee the best lubrication and protection from salted and corrosive sea environment. As proved by tests carried out by NASA (NASA DOCUMENT TR-900-001), using silicone lubricants is excellent for equipment using Nitrox hyper-oxygenated mixtures with oxygen percenta- ge up to 40%.
