AMMONIA AND LITHIUM METAL IN SOLUTION Resistant O-Rings and Seals
Ammonia (also known as azane, NH3) is a colorless gas with a pungent odor. It is commonly used in industrial processes such as refrigeration, food processing, and fertilizer production. It is also used in the production of cleaning products, pharmaceuticals, plastics, and other household products.
When rubber is exposed to ammonia, it can cause swelling, cracking, and other forms of physical damage. This is due to the ammonia's ability to break down the chemical bonds between the rubber molecules, causing the rubber to become brittle and lose its flexibility. Additionally, ammonia can cause corrosion and oxidation of the rubber, leading to further degradation of the material.
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.
