BENZOTRICHLORIDE Resistant O-Rings and Seals
Benzotrichloride (also known as trichlorobenzene or TCB) is a colorless, volatile liquid with a chloroform-like odor. It is commonly used as an intermediate in the production of azo dyes, pharmaceuticals, and perfumes. It is also used in the production of rubber, plastic, and leather.
When rubber is exposed to benzotrichloride, it can cause the rubber to become brittle and crack. This can lead to the rubber becoming weakened and less resistant to high temperatures or chemical agents. Additionally, benzotrichloride can cause the rubber to swell, which can cause further weakening. In extreme cases, the rubber can become completely degraded and need to be replaced.
