I need an off-the-shelf closed cell elastomer o-ring. Please suggest a supplier.
 
Where are you located? (Country, State?)
 
O-rings are not defined as closed cell or open cell as is sponge rubber . You need to decide what elastomer is proper for your application, eg., Nitrile, FKM (DuPont Viton), Silicone etc. Call a Parker o-ring distributor or go their web site, they will have a distributor finder in the or-ring division's site. I use Staver Hydraulics, but use whomever you are confortable with.
 
Colonial BPP in Dyersburg Tenn.Mauufacturers Molded sponge O rings.
