CALCIUM SULFITE Resistant O-Rings and Seals
Calcium sulfite, also known as calcium sulphite, is a chemical compound with the formula CaSO3. It is commonly used in water treatment and wastewater treatment, as well as in the production of paper and textiles.
When rubber is exposed to calcium sulfite, it can cause a number of problems. The sulfur molecules present in the chemical can cause the rubber to become brittle and cracked, as well as discolored and weakened. This can lead to a decrease in performance and durability, and in extreme cases, the rubber may be completely destroyed. Additionally, rubber material may exhibit signs of damage such as swelling, cracking and discoloration when exposed to calcium sulfite.
