CALCIUM LACTATE Resistant O-Rings and Seals
Calcium lactate, also known as calcium 2-hydroxypropanoate, is a salt used as a food additive, acidity regulator, and in the production of industrial chemicals. Common types of failures when rubber is exposed to calcium lactate are ozone cracking, embrittlement, and accelerated aging. Ozone cracking is caused by the oxidation of the rubber due to the presence of ozone in the air. Embrittlement is caused by the rubber becoming brittle due to the chemical reaction of the rubber with calcium lactate. Accelerated aging is caused by the rubber becoming brittle due to the breakdown of the rubber by calcium lactate over time.
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.
