CYCLOPENTADIENE Resistant O-Rings and Seals
Cyclopentadiene is also known as pentamethylene, 1,3-cyclopentadiene, and 2,4-cyclopentadiene. It is a cyclic hydrocarbon that is used as an intermediate in the synthesis of polymers, pharmaceuticals, and other organic compounds. Common uses for cyclopentadiene include rubber production, the synthesis of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) resins, and the manufacturing of adhesives.
When exposed to cyclopentadiene, rubber materials may experience swelling, hardening, cracking, softening, and embrittlement. Swelling may occur as a result of the cyclic hydrocarbon's reactive properties, which can cause the rubber material to become soft, weak, and brittle. Additionally, cyclopentadiene can cause the rubber to harden, leading to a decrease in the material's flexibility and an increase in brittleness. Cracking may also occur as a result of the chemical's reaction with the rubber material.
