BUTYL GLYCOLATE Resistant O-Rings and Seals
Butyl glycolate, also known as butyl-2-hydroxypropanoate, is a chemical compound commonly used as a plasticizer, a solvent, a fuel, and a chemical intermediate in various industries. It is found in a variety of products such as adhesives, sealants, paints, and lubricants.
When exposed to butyl glycolate, rubber materials can experience swelling, softening, and cracking. Rubber materials with lower molecular weights, such as nitrile rubber and neoprene, are particularly vulnerable to these types of failures. Additionally, rubber materials that are exposed to butyl glycolate for long periods of time may experience accelerated aging and deterioration due to the reaction between the chemical and the rubber.
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.
