CALCIUM CARBONATE Resistant O-Rings and Seals
Calcium Carbonate is also known as calcite, chalk, limestone, and marble. It is a common substance found in rocks and is the main component of shells of marine organisms, snails, and eggs. It is used in many industries, such as construction, pharmaceuticals, and food manufacturing.
In rubber applications, Calcium Carbonate can cause swelling, hardening, and brittleness of the rubber material. This is due to the low solubility of the chemical, which can cause it to form a hard coating on the surface of the rubber. Additionally, the alkalinity of the chemical can cause degradation of the rubber material, resulting in decreased elasticity and decreased performance.
