DIBUTYL THIOUREA Resistant O-Rings and Seals
Dibutyl thiourea (also known as DBTU) is an organic compound commonly used in the rubber and plastic industries. It is used as a vulcanizing agent to improve the strength, elasticity, and abrasion resistance of rubber products. It is also used as an accelerator in rubber and plastic products to speed up vulcanization.
When exposed to dibutyl thiourea, rubber can become brittle and crack due to the high temperatures generated during vulcanization. Additionally, the chemical can cause rubber to swell, soften, and lose its strength and elasticity. It can also cause rubber to discolor and break down over time, leading to premature failure.
