CHLORINE DIOXIDE Resistant O-Rings and Seals

Chlorine dioxide is a generic term for a chemical compound composed of two chlorine atoms and two oxygen atoms. It is commonly used as an oxidizing agent in water treatment, bleaching of textiles, and sterilization and disinfection of food and medical equipment. Chlorine dioxide is also used for odor control in waste treatment, chemical processing, and paper manufacturing.

When rubber is exposed to chlorine dioxide, it can cause the rubber to degrade and swell. This is due to the oxidizing properties of chlorine dioxide, which will cause the rubber to become brittle and crack over time. Additionally, chlorine dioxide can cause the rubber to become discolored, as the chlorine dioxide reacts with the rubber's polymer chains. Finally, chlorine dioxide can cause rubber to become more permeable to other chemicals, leading to further degradation and failure.
