CHLORIDE OF LIME, AQUEOUS Resistant O-Rings and Seals
Chloride of lime, also known as Calcium Hypochlorite or Bleaching Powder, is a chemical compound commonly used as a disinfectant and bleaching agent in a variety of industries. It is widely used in water treatment, swimming pools, and food processing, as well as a bleaching agent in textile and paper industries. In the rubber industry, Chloride of lime is used to accelerate the vulcanization process.
When rubber is exposed to Chloride of lime, the most common type of failure is due to the acidic nature of the compound. The acidity of Chloride of lime can cause cracking, delamination, and hardening of the rubber. Additionally, it can lead to discoloration due to chemical reactions. The rubber can also become brittle and break down due to extended exposure.
