It is virtually impossible to find an o-ring that is made from natural rubber - the stuff that comes from rubber trees - today. What you will find instead is a product that is made out of a synthetic material, called an elastomer, that looks, feels and behaves like one might think natural rubber would. But today different synthetic materials have been developed to withstand greater temperature and pressure ranges, to resist harsh chemicals, and to stand up under tough conditions such as abrasion and exposure to ozone and sunlight.

"Tap (valve) - Tap mechanisms
...
The first screw-down tap mechanism was patented and manufactured by the Rotherham brass founders, Guest and Chrimes,in 1845. Most older taps use a soft rubber or neoprene washer which is screwed down onto a valve seat in order to stop the flow. This is called a "globe valve" in engineering and, while it gives a leak-proof seal and good fine adjustment of flow, both the rubber washer and the valve seat are subject to wear (and for the seat, corrosion) over time, leading to leakage (see photo). The washer can be replaced and the valve seat resurfaced (at least a few times), but globe valves are never maintenance-free."

"O-ring
...
An o-ring, also known as a packing, or a toric joint, is a mechanical gasket in the shape of a torus; it is a loop of elastomer with a disc-shaped cross-section, designed to be seated in a groove and compressed during assembly between two or more parts, creating a seal at the interface."
