BUTADIENE Resistant O-Rings and Seals
Butadiene is also known as 1,3-butadiene, 1,2-difluoroethylene, and buta-1,3-diene. It is a colorless, flammable gas used to produce synthetic rubber and other chemicals.
Common types of failures when rubber is exposed to butadiene include brittleness, swelling, and cracking. Brittleness occurs when the rubber hardens due to prolonged exposure to the gas, making it prone to cracking and breaking. Swelling can occur when the rubber absorbs the butadiene, leading to a decrease in tensile strength. Cracking can happen due to exposure to the high temperatures created by butadiene combustion.
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.
