CHLORAL HYDRATE, AQUEOUS Resistant O-Rings and Seals
Chloral hydrate, also known as Trichloroethanol, is a chlorinated derivative of ethanol. It is commonly used in the medical field as a sedative, hypnotic, and anticonvulsant. It is also used as a solvent in the production of perfumes, dyes and phthalic anhydride.
When rubber is exposed to Chloral hydrate, it can cause the rubber to become brittle and crack over time. This is due to the oxidative effects of the chemical, which can destabilize the rubber polymers and reduce the strength of the material. In addition, the chemical can react with the rubber material and cause swelling or discoloration.
