CHLOROBROMOMETHANE Resistant O-Rings and Seals
Chlorobromomethane, also known as Bromochloromethane, is a colorless gas with a sweet, chloroform-like odor. It is commonly used as a halogenated solvent in various chemical processes, as a propellant in aerosol products, and as a chemical intermediate in the production of dyes, pharmaceuticals, and other products.
When rubber is exposed to chlorobromomethane, it can experience cracking, discoloration, dryness, and embrittlement. The rubber can become more brittle and prone to cracking, which can ultimately lead to seal failure. Additionally, the rubber can become discolored, dry and brittle, and may even swell when exposed to chlorobromomethane. In some cases, the rubber can become so brittle that it is difficult to re-seal the material. The gas can also cause the rubber to deteriorate over time, leading to further seal degradation.
