AMYL CHLORIDE Resistant O-Rings and Seals
Amyl chloride, also known as pentyl chloride, is a colorless, flammable liquid with an aroma of chloroform. It is widely used as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals, fragrances, solvents, and plasticizers. It is also used as a catalyst in organic synthesis, as a blowing agent for plastics, and as an initiator for polymerization reactions.
When rubber is exposed to amyl chloride, common types of failures can include swelling, softening, cracking, and excessive shrinkage. Additionally, the rubber can become more susceptible to cracking and other physical damage due to the breakdown of the rubber's molecular structure. This can lead to weakened bonds and a decrease in the rubber's overall strength and durability.
