CARBOLIC ACID Resistant O-Rings and Seals
Carbolic Acid is also commonly known as phenol and is an aromatic alcohol that is frequently used as an antiseptic, disinfectant, and a preservative. It is widely used in the medical and dental industries, as well as the production of some plastics and pharmaceuticals.
When rubber is exposed to Carbolic Acid, it can suffer from swelling, cracking, and discoloration. The acid can also cause the rubber to become brittle and break down over time, leading to eventual failure. In some cases, Carbolic Acid can also cause the rubber to become tacky and sticky, leading to further degradation.
