DICHCLOROBUTANE Resistant O-Rings and Seals
Dichlorobutane, also known as n-butane, is an organic compound commonly used as a solvent for paints and coatings, as a fuel for lighters, and as a blowing agent in the production of plastics and foams. Common industries that use this chemical include automotive manufacturing, chemical processing, and personal care products.
When rubber is exposed to dichlorobutane, it can lead to accelerated aging and cracking of the rubber. This is due to the chemical's low flash point, which causes the rubber to become brittle and crack. Additionally, dichlorobutane can cause discoloration of the rubber, as well as embrittlement and swelling. It is important to choose the right rubber material for any application that requires exposure to this chemical in order to minimize potential damage.
