Barium peroxide, also known as barium dioxide, is an inorganic compound used in a range of industrial applications. It is commonly used as a catalyst in chemical reactions, as a bleaching agent, and in the production of certain alloys, detergents, and inks.
When rubber is exposed to barium peroxide, it can cause the rubber to become discolored and brittle. Additionally, it can cause the rubber to swell and become more susceptible to accelerated aging. It can also cause the rubber to become less flexible and more prone to cracking. In some cases, barium peroxide can also cause the rubber to become sticky.
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.
