ACETOPHENONE Resistant O-Rings and Seals
Acetophenone, also known as phenyl methyl ketone, is an aromatic ketone used as a fragrance and flavor ingredient in a variety of industries. It is also used in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals, dyes, and various organic compounds.
When rubber is exposed to Acetophenone, the material can become brittle and crack or tear due to degradation caused by the chemical. In addition, the rubber may become discolored or swell due to the presence of the chemical. Over time, the rubber may also experience accelerated aging, leading to potential failure.
EPDM (EP, EPR, Ethylene-Propylene Rubber)
EPDM o-rings, or ethylene propylene o-rings, are a family of synthetic elastomers with lower cost steam and chemical resistance, particularly for applications involving solvents, acids and other mild chemicals. Marco Rubber has the world’s largest inventory network of EPDM o-rings and made on demand custom manufacturing often without tooling fees, so the EPDM o-rings you need are always available. Whether it’s for water systems, braking systems, medical, pharmaceutical, food or dairy use, you can count on Marco Rubber to deliver your o-rings fast and efficiently.
