CARBONIC ACID Resistant O-Rings and Seals
Carbon tetrafluoride, also known as carbonic acid, is a colorless gas used in various industries including refrigeration, air conditioning, and fire extinguishing systems. It is also used in the production of plastics and pharmaceuticals. Common types of failures when rubber is exposed to carbon tetrafluoride include accelerated degradation, swelling, cracking, and loss of strength. The chemical’s reactivity with rubber leads to a breakdown of the rubber’s molecular structure, which can cause it to deteriorate rapidly. Additionally, exposure to carbon tetrafluoride can lead to the rubber becoming brittle and prone to cracking.
