Calcium Hydrosulfide is also known as calcium sulfide and is commonly used in the production of sulfuric acid and other sulfur-based compounds. It is also used as a preservative in food production, as well as in the manufacture of animal feed.
When rubber is exposed to calcium hydrosulfide, it can cause the rubber to become brittle and cracked. This can lead to increased porosity and permeability, allowing gases and liquids to pass through the rubber material more easily. Additionally, calcium hydrosulfide can cause swelling of the rubber, which can lead to distortion and eventual failure.
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.
