Dibutylamine (also known as N,N-Dibutylmethylamine) is a volatile organic compound used primarily as a corrosion inhibitor and as an intermediate in the production of rubber and plastic products. It is also used as a surfactant and wetting agent in the textile, household, and agricultural industries.
When exposed to dibutylamine, rubber can become brittle and crack due to the low 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.
Markez ® high performance perfluoroelastomer O-Rings (FFKM) offer unmatched value for demanding sealing applications. Produced from nearly identical ingredients as higher priced brands, Markez ® compounds are used for high temperature o-rings and high pressure o-rings and chemical resistant o-rings that deliver similar performance to major FFKM brands, with temperature resistance up to 625oF, at a significantly lower cost. Our proprietary processing allow us to supply seals under an inch in size more efficiently. Introduced exclusively to existing customers over 15 years ago, we now have the experience and capacity to offer Markez ® high temperature o-rings and high pressure o-rings to the world.
