BUTYL LAURATE Resistant O-Rings and Seals
Butyl laurate, also known as pentaerythritol ester, is an organic compound commonly used in lubricants, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals. It is also used as a solvent in various industries and as a plasticizer in some plastic products.
The most common type of failure when rubber is exposed to butyl laurate is hardening and embrittlement of the rubber. As the chemical is absorbed, the rubber becomes less flexible and more prone to cracking and tearing. In addition, it can cause the material to become less resistant to heat and chemicals, leading to further damage over time. The rubber may also become discolored and brittle due to the chemical reaction.
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.
