DETERGENT SOLUTIONS Resistant O-Rings and Seals
Detergent solutions, also known as surfactants, are compounds made up of two parts; one hydrophilic and the other hydrophobic. They are commonly used in a variety of industries, including laundry detergents, dishwashing liquids, and cosmetics.
When exposed to detergent solutions, rubber materials can experience swelling, softening, and discoloration. Swelling of the rubber material can occur due to the presence of surfactants, which can cause the rubber material to absorb moisture and swell in size. Softening of the rubber material can occur due to the presence of surfactants, which can cause the rubber material to become softer and more pliable. Discoloration of the rubber material can occur due to the presence of surfactants, which can cause the rubber material to become discolored and fade in color.
