ACETYLENE TETRABROMIDE Resistant O-Rings and Seals
Acetylene Dichloride, also known as Acetylene Tetrabromide, is a chemical compound used mainly in the production of polyvinyl chloride or PVC. It is also used in the production of polyethylene terephthalate or PET and in rubber production. Common uses of Acetylene Dichloride include plastics production, rubber production, and as an intermediate in the production of other chemicals.
When rubber is exposed to Acetylene Dichloride, it can lead to chemical degradation, swelling, hardening, and cracking. This can occur as a result of exposure to high temperatures, as well as exposure to direct sunlight. Additionally, if Acetylene Dichloride is not completely removed from the rubber after use, it can cause premature aging and deterioration of the rubber material.
