CALCIUM CHLORATE Resistant O-Rings and Seals
Calcium carbonate is also known as calcite, limestone, chalk, marble and aragonite. It is a common mineral compound found in sedimentary rocks and is widely used in the paper, plastics, glass, paint and rubber industries. It is also used in pharmaceuticals and food production.
Exposure of rubber to calcium carbonate can lead to several types of failure. Over time, the calcium carbonate can weaken the rubber due to its abrasive nature. This can lead to cracking, splitting, and breaking of the rubber. In addition, calcium carbonate can induce swelling of the rubber, resulting in a softer, pliable material that can no longer perform its intended function. Finally, exposure to calcium carbonate may cause the rubber to become brittle, leading to premature failure.
