Dicyclohexylammonium Nitrate, also known as Cyclohexyl Ammonium Nitrate, is an organic compound used primarily as a source of nitrogen for fertilizer. It is also used in the production of explosives, inks, and rubber products.
Common types of rubber failure when exposed to Dicyclohexylammonium Nitrate include swelling, cracking, and breakdown of the rubber's physical properties due to the nitrate's corrosive properties. Additionally, the rubber may be subject to accelerated aging due to the increased volatility of the nitrate. In some cases, the rubber may become brittle and fragile due to the breakdown of its chemical bonds.
Fluorosilicone o-rings are a hybrid of silicone and FKM resulting in great jet fuel resistance with high and low temperature performance. Also widely used in semiconductor Ashing equipment with strong resistance to oxygen plasma, FVMQ fluorosilicone o-rings also feature excellent flexibility, compression resistance, aging and sunlight resistance, and overall wide range of basic chemical resistance.
