BROMOFORM Resistant O-Rings and Seals
Bromoform, also known as tribromomethane, is a colorless, nonflammable, and sweet-smelling liquid that is soluble in water and miscible with many organic solvents. It is mainly used as a reagent in organic synthesis, as a stabilizer for chlorine, and as a solvent for waxes and oils.
When rubber is exposed to bromoform, it can cause swelling and cracking due to its low vapor pressure. Bromoform can also cause the rubber to become brittle and break. Additionally, prolonged exposure can cause the rubber to become discolored and may even lead to its premature failure. Bromoform can also cause damage to the rubber due to its corrosive properties.
