Which o-ring material creates the least particles when used as a shaft seal?

[MECHANICAL]

I'm working on a simple tool for a cleanroom. I'm looking to use an o-ring as a seal to keep any dust inside the tool from getting out. These will run at very low RPM <1. Heat and chem resistance aren't needed per se. The mating material will be plastic (nylon).
