CRUDE OIL, ASPHALT BASE Resistant O-Rings and Seals
Crude Oil, also known as Petroleum, is used in a variety of industries, such as the production of fuels, lubricants, and petrochemicals. Asphalt Base is a form of crude oil that is used in the construction of roads and other paved surfaces.
When rubber is exposed to crude oil or asphalt base, the rubber can become softened and swell, leading to failure in the rubber part. Additionally, the chemicals can cause discoloration of the rubber, leading to surface defects. Over time, the rubber can become brittle and crack due to the exposure, leading to a failure in the rubber part.
