COOLANOL Resistant O-Rings and Seals
COOLANOL is a trade name for 1-decanol, which is a fatty alcohol with a wide range of uses. It is commonly used in the production of cosmetics, cleaning products, lubricants, and fuel additives. It is also used in the manufacturing of rubber and plastic products.
When exposed to Coolanol, rubber compounds can suffer from swelling, cracking, and hardening. These effects are more pronounced in compounds that contain higher concentrations of unsaturated fatty acids. Depending on the type of rubber, Coolanol can also cause the material to become brittle, reducing its ability to resist compression and impact.
