ALKYL AMINE Resistant O-Rings and Seals
Alkyl amines are also known as alkylamines, aminobutanes, or aminopropanes. They are commonly used as cleaning agents, emulsifiers, corrosion inhibitors, and intermediates in the production of other chemicals.
When rubber is exposed to alkyl amines, it can suffer from premature aging and cracking due to the presence of nitrogen molecules that can react with the rubber. Additionally, the rubber may be subject to swelling and softening, leading to a decrease in its compression set resistance. Finally, alkyl amines are known to cause migration of plasticizers from the rubber matrix, leading to brittleness and a decrease in tensile strength.
Fluorosilicone (FVMQ, FSIL)
Fluorosilicone o-rings are a hybrid of silicone and FKM resulting in great jet fuel resistance with high and low temperature performance. Also widely used in semiconductor Ashing equipment with strong resistance to oxygen plasma, FVMQ fluorosilicone o-rings also feature excellent flexibility, compression resistance, aging and sunlight resistance, and overall wide range of basic chemical resistance.
