ALIPHATIC DICARBOXYLIC ACID Resistant O-Rings and Seals
Aliphatic Dicarboxylic Acid, also known as Alkanedioic Acid, is a type of organic acid commonly used as a food preservative, a corrosion inhibitor, and as a fuel additive. It is also used in the production of polymers and other chemicals.
When rubber is exposed to Aliphatic Dicarboxylic Acid, it can suffer from swelling, a decrease in tensile strength, and a decrease in elasticity. This is due to the acid's ability to penetrate the rubber and break down its structure, resulting in the rubber becoming brittle and losing its strength and elasticity. Additionally, the acid can cause the rubber to swell and become porous, resulting in further degradation.
