ALPHA PICOLINE Resistant O-Rings and Seals

Alpha Picoline, also known as 2-methylpyridine, is an important organic compound used in many industries. It is used as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals and plastics. It is also used in the production of dyes and pigments, as well as in the production of flavors and fragrances for the food and beverage industries.

Common failures when rubber is exposed to Alpha Picoline include oxidation, discoloration, softening and hardening, as well as decreased tensile strength. The presence of moisture can accelerate the degradation of rubber materials when exposed to Alpha Picoline, leading to premature failure. It can also cause brittleness and cracking due to the breakdown of rubber polymers.


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.
