DICHLOROPHENOL Resistant O-Rings and Seals
Dichloromethane, also known as methylene chloride, is a colorless, volatile liquid commonly used as a solvent in many industries, including paint stripping, pharmaceuticals, and as a blowing agent in the production of foam rubber. Common applications also include plastics and rubber production, degreasing, and metal cleaning.
Exposure to dichloromethane can cause rubber to become brittle and break down due to a reaction called hydrolysis. This reaction is due to the chlorine molecules in the dichloromethane, which cause the rubber to become soft, swell, and eventually break apart. Additionally, the chemical can corrode and weaken the rubber, leading to cracks, softening, and eventual failure.
