CHLOROPHENOL, ORTHO Resistant O-Rings and Seals
Chlorophenol, also known as 2,4-Dichlorophenol, is a widely used chemical in the rubber and plastics industry. It is primarily used as a disinfectant, antifungal, and preservative. It is also used in the production of dyestuffs, detergents, and herbicides.
When exposed to chlorophenol, rubber materials can suffer from a variety of degradation processes. The most common is oxidative degradation, which occurs when the chemical reacts with oxygen in the rubber material, resulting in embrittlement, cracking, and discoloration. Additionally, the chemical can cause swelling, loss of tensile strength, and changes in the material’s hardness. In some cases, the chemical can also cause a loss of elasticity and an increase in the brittleness of the material.
Fluorosilicone (FVMQ, FSIL)
Fluorosilicone o-rings are a hybrid of silicone and FKM resulting in great jet fuel resistance with high and low temperature performance. Also widely used in semiconductor Ashing equipment with strong resistance to oxygen plasma, FVMQ fluorosilicone o-rings also feature excellent flexibility, compression resistance, aging and sunlight resistance, and overall wide range of basic chemical resistance.
