Diethylaniline, also known as DEA, is an organic compound commonly used in the manufacturing of dyes, pharmaceuticals, and agrochemicals. Common uses of DEA include the production of dyes, pharmaceuticals, and agrochemicals.
When rubber components are exposed to DEA, they can become brittle and susceptible to cracking, leading to a decrease in sealing capabilities. Additionally, the rubber can become subject to cracks, tears, and splits due to the presence of DEA, which can lead to a decrease in tensile strength and elongation. Over time, the rubber can also become discolored and brittle due to the presence of DEA, resulting in a decrease in reliability.
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.
