CARBON TETRAFLUORIDE Resistant O-Rings and Seals
Carbon tetrachloride, also known as tetrachloromethane, is a volatile, colorless liquid with a chloroform-like odor. It is used in a variety of industrial and commercial applications such as fire extinguishers, refrigeration systems, and as a solvent for cleaning and degreasing metal parts.
When rubber is exposed to carbon tetrachloride, there is a risk of the rubber material degrading and becoming brittle over time. This can be caused by the chemical's ability to break down the rubber's elastomeric bonds and cause oxidation, leading to drying and cracking of the rubber surface. Additionally, the chemical can cause swelling and softening of the rubber material, leading to a loss of structural integrity and strength.
