Antimony pentafluoride, also known as fluorantimonic acid, is a chemical compound with the formula SbF5. It is used in various industries such as electronics, metal refining, and glass etching. Common types of rubber failure when exposed to antimony pentafluoride include cracking, brittleness, and swelling. The cracking is caused by the chemical's corrosive nature, while the brittleness and swelling are caused by the chemical's reactivity with the rubber's polymer chains.
