BITUMEN Resistant O-Rings and Seals
Bitumen, also known as asphalt, is a common chemical used in the construction and paving industry. It is used to create asphalt for roads, as well as for waterproofing and sealing materials. When rubber is exposed to bitumen, it can become soft and sticky, leading to a decrease in tensile strength and potentially leading to failure. In addition, the rubber may suffer from discoloration, fading, and cracking over time.
