BRAKE FLUID DOT3, GLYCOL TYPE Resistant O-Rings and Seals
Boron trifluoride, also known as Brake Fluid DOT3 or Glycol Type, is a colorless, non-flammable, and toxic gas. It is commonly used in the production of semiconductors, fluoropolymers, and as a catalyst in organic synthesis. It can also be used as a cleaning agent for electronic components and as a fluorinating agent in organic synthesis.
When rubber is exposed to Boron trifluoride, it can result in the breakdown of rubber polymers due to the high reactivity of the gas. This can lead to a loss in mechanical properties such as tensile strength, tear strength, and elongation. Additionally, exposure to Boron trifluoride can cause irreversible damage to rubber due to the formation of peroxides and other chemical compounds.
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.
