AUTOMOTIVE BRAKE FLUID Resistant O-Rings and Seals
Automotive Brake Fluid is a type of hydraulic fluid used in automotive braking systems. Other common names for Automotive Brake Fluid include Brake Fluid, Brake Oil, and Hydraulic Fluid. Automotive Brake Fluid is used to transfer the pressure from the brake pedal to the brake calipers, which in turn actuate the brakes.
When exposed to Automotive Brake Fluid, rubber components may experience swelling, softening, and discoloration due to its high viscosity and low solubility. Additionally, the rubber can become brittle and crack due to its low flexibility, leading to eventual failure. It is important to note that rubber components should not be directly exposed to Automotive Brake Fluid, as the chemicals can cause severe damage to the rubber.
EPDM (EP, EPR, Ethylene-Propylene Rubber)
EPDM o-rings, or ethylene propylene o-rings, are a family of synthetic elastomers with lower cost steam and chemical resistance, particularly for applications involving solvents, acids and other mild chemicals. Marco Rubber has the world’s largest inventory network of EPDM o-rings and made on demand custom manufacturing often without tooling fees, so the EPDM o-rings you need are always available. Whether it’s for water systems, braking systems, medical, pharmaceutical, food or dairy use, you can count on Marco Rubber to deliver your o-rings fast and efficiently.
