COPPER ACETATE Resistant O-Rings and Seals
Copper acetate is a chemical compound also known as cupric acetate, copper(II) acetate, or cupric ethanoate. It is widely used in the dye and textile industry as a mordant, in leather tanning as an astringent, and as a preservative in wood preservation. Common types of failures when rubber is exposed to copper acetate include cracking, swelling, discoloration, and corrosion. Rubber parts exposed to copper acetate can also experience a decrease in strength and flexibility, which can result in a loss of performance.
EPDM (EP, EPR, Ethylene-Propylene Rubber)
EPDM o-rings, or ethylene propylene o-rings, are a family of synthetic elastomers with lower cost steam and chemical resistance, particularly for applications involving solvents, acids and other mild chemicals. Marco Rubber has the world’s largest inventory network of EPDM o-rings and made on demand custom manufacturing often without tooling fees, so the EPDM o-rings you need are always available. Whether it’s for water systems, braking systems, medical, pharmaceutical, food or dairy use, you can count on Marco Rubber to deliver your o-rings fast and efficiently.
