AMYL ALCOHOL Resistant O-Rings and Seals
Amyl Acetate is also known as Pentyl Acetate, 5-methyl-1-pentanol, and pentyl ethanoate. It is commonly used as a flavoring and fragrance agent in food and beverage, as well as in cosmetics and cleaning products. It is also used as a solvent in the paint and coatings industry.
When rubber is exposed to Amyl Acetate, it can cause accelerated aging and embrittlement of the rubber. This can lead to cracking, loss of elasticity, and reduced tensile strength. The rubber can also become discolored, harden, or swell. In addition, Amyl Acetate can cause the breakdown of certain rubber compounds, leading to a decrease in the material's ability to resist chemicals, water, and heat.
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.
