ATL0857 Resistant O-Rings and Seals
ATL0857, also known as benzyl alcohol, is a colorless liquid with a mild, sweet odour. It is a common solvent used in the manufacture of cosmetics, perfumes, printing inks, and pharmaceuticals. It is also used as a fuel additive and in the preparation of rubber and plastic polymers.
When exposed to benzyl alcohol, rubber seals and gaskets may experience a variety of failure modes. These can include swelling, softening, and cracking of the rubber, as well as a decrease in the rubber's elasticity. In addition, benzyl alcohol can act as a solvent and cause the rubber to break down, leading to a loss of structural integrity. To protect against these types of failure, rubber seals should be made from materials that are compatible with benzyl alcohol, such as fluorocarbon, nitrile, or polyurethane.
