Cyclohexylamine is also known as Hexahydroaniline and 1-Aminocyclohexane. It is a clear, colorless liquid with an ammonia-like odor. Cyclohexylamine is primarily used as a building block in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, rubber products, and other organic compounds.
When exposed to cyclohexylamine, rubber materials can experience swelling, hardening, softening, cracking, and embrittlement. These types of failures will occur as a result of the chemical's amine properties, which can degrade the rubber material and cause it to become brittle and crack. Additionally, cyclohexylamine can cause rubber to swell, leading to an increase in the material's softness and a decrease in its strength.
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.
