ACETYL BENZENE Resistant O-Rings and Seals
Acetyl benzene, also known as phenyl acetate or benzene acetic acid, is an organic compound used in the production of perfumes, paints and other chemicals. It is also used in the production of fuel additives, surfactants and pharmaceuticals.
When exposed to acetyl benzene, many types of rubber can become degraded due to the formation of an insoluble film of oil on the surface of the rubber. This film of oil can prevent the rubber from being able to flex and return to its original shape, leading to cracking and tearing. In addition, the rubber may become more susceptible to external forces such as abrasion and heat, leading to accelerated wear and tear.
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.
