BISMUTH CARBONATE Resistant O-Rings and Seals
Bismuth carbonate, also known as bismuth subcarbonate, is used as a source of bismuth in the production of various inorganic compounds. It is also used as an ingredient in certain medicines and as a coloring agent in cosmetics.
When exposed to bismuth carbonate, rubber can suffer from a number of different types of failures. These can include cracking, softening, and discoloration. Additionally, it can cause the rubber to become brittle, leading to excessive wear and tear. It can also cause swelling, which can lead to leaks and other problems. Additionally, exposure to high temperatures can cause the rubber to become rigid and brittle, leading to further damage.
