AMMONIUM VALERATE Resistant O-Rings and Seals
AMMONIUM VALERATE, also known as Valeric Acid and AMV, is commonly used in the production of detergents, solvents, and fragrances. In detergents, it is used to make the detergent more effective and less caustic. In solvents, it is used to dissolve materials, such as oils and resins. In fragrances, it is used to create a pleasant scent.
When rubber is exposed to AMMONIUM VALERATE, the rubber may become brittle and crack, leading to a loss of sealing properties. In addition, the rubber may swell, causing it to lose its flexibility and durability. In extreme cases, the rubber may degrade, leading to a complete breakdown of the material. Furthermore, AMMONIUM VALERATE can cause rubber to become discolored and brittle, leading to a loss of sealing properties.
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.
