DECAHYDRONAPHTHALENE Resistant O-Rings and Seals
Decahydronaphthalene is also known as decalin, decahydronaphthane, and naphthalene-1-decanol. It is commonly used as a solvent in the rubber and plastic industry. In general, it is used as a mild solvent, as a raw material for the production of plasticizers, and for the extraction of certain essential oils.
When rubber materials are exposed to decahydronaphthalene, the most common type of failure is softening and swelling. This is due to the solubility of decahydronaphthalene in the rubber material, which can cause the rubber to become more pliable and more prone to stretching and tearing. Additionally, the chemical can cause the rubber to become brittle and prone to cracking over time.
