CAPRONALDEHYDE Resistant O-Rings and Seals
Capronaldehyde, also known as 2-Methyl-2-propanal, is a colorless liquid with a strong pungent odor. It is used in industries such as perfumery, food, pharmaceuticals and plastics.
When rubber is exposed to Capronaldehyde, it can cause cracking, swelling, discoloration and eventual deterioration of the rubber. This is due to the chemical’s corrosive properties and its ability to penetrate the rubber, leading to oxidation and other breakdowns. Additionally, the strong odor of the chemical can also lead to an unpleasant smell on the rubber.
