DIACETONE ALCOHOL Resistant O-Rings and Seals
DIACETONE ALCOHOL, also known as 4-hydroxy-4-methylpentan-2-one, is a colorless liquid with a sweet, pungent odor. It is used in a variety of industrial applications, including inks, adhesives, coatings, paints, plastics, and textiles. It is also used as an intermediate in the manufacture of other chemicals.
When rubber is exposed to DIACETONE ALCOHOL, it can cause swelling, cracking and hardening of the rubber. This is due to the liquid's ability to soften, swell and dissolve the rubber's polymer chains. Additionally, the alcohol can cause a decrease in the rubber's tear strength, tensile strength and elongation. Exposure to high concentrations of DIACETONE ALCOHOL can also lead to the rubber becoming brittle and cracking.
EPDM (EP, EPR, Ethylene-Propylene Rubber)
EPDM o-rings, or ethylene propylene o-rings, are a family of synthetic elastomers with lower cost steam and chemical resistance, particularly for applications involving solvents, acids and other mild chemicals. Marco Rubber has the world’s largest inventory network of EPDM o-rings and made on demand custom manufacturing often without tooling fees, so the EPDM o-rings you need are always available. Whether it’s for water systems, braking systems, medical, pharmaceutical, food or dairy use, you can count on Marco Rubber to deliver your o-rings fast and efficiently.
