BENZONITRILE Resistant O-Rings and Seals
Benzonitrile, also known as Phenyl Cyanide, is an organic compound used in the production of pharmaceuticals, fragrances, and a wide range of synthetic materials. It is also used as an intermediate for the production of other chemicals, including dyes and explosives.
When rubber is exposed to Benzonitrile, it may experience swelling, cracking, and discoloration. Additionally, the rubber may become brittle and crack under extreme temperature changes, due to the chemical’s tendency to break down rubber’s elastomeric properties. It can also cause embrittlement, and a loss of tensile strength.
Fluorosilicone (FVMQ, FSIL)
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.
