CHLOROHYDRIN Resistant O-Rings and Seals
Chlorohydrin, also known as Chloroform, is a colorless liquid with a sweet, ether-like odor and taste. It is widely used in the production of pharmaceuticals, resins, and dyes. It is also used in the manufacture of plastics, solvents, and refrigerants.
When rubber is exposed to Chlorohydrin, it can cause cracking, discoloration, swelling, and softening. Additionally, the chemical can cause the rubber to become brittle and it can cause the rubber to harden over time. This can lead to decreased performance of the rubber seal and in some cases, complete failure.
