CHLOROTOLUENE Resistant O-Rings and Seals
Chlorotoluene, also known as toluene dichloride, is an organic compound used in the production of dyes, pharmaceuticals, and in the production of polymers. It is also used as a solvent in paints, adhesives, and in the production of synthetic rubber.
When exposed to chlorotoluene, rubber material can become brittle and crack, leading to seal failure. Additionally, the rubber can become sticky and tacky, reducing its performance and leading to seal failure. Chlorotoluene can also cause discoloration and degradation of the rubber’s physical properties, such as its tensile strength, elongation, and tear strength. Swelling and hardening of the rubber material can also occur, leading to structural failure.
