BIPHENYL Resistant O-Rings and Seals
Biphenyl is also known as diphenyl or phenylbenzene. It is commonly used as a solvent in the production of plastics and is also used as a lubricant in the automotive industry.
When exposed to biphenyl, rubber can suffer from a number of different types of failures. These can include cracking or breaking, discoloration, and premature aging due to the chemical's corrosive nature. Additionally, the chemical can cause the rubber to become brittle, which can lead to excessive wear and tear. It can also cause rubber to swell or expand, leading to leaks and other issues. Additionally, low temperature exposure can cause the rubber to become rigid and brittle.
