DIFLUOROETHANE Resistant O-Rings and Seals
Difluoroethane is also known as Ethane, 2-Difluoro and HFC 152a and is a colorless, non-toxic gas. It is commonly used as a propellant in aerosol products, as a refrigerant and in foam blowing applications.
When rubber is exposed to difluoroethane, it can cause swelling, hardening, and embrittlement of the rubber material. These effects can be accelerated by high temperatures, leading to a decrease in elasticity and tear strength of the rubber material. Additionally, the rubber can become softened and can experience a decrease in tensile strength, which could lead to cracking or breaking of the rubber material. The rubber can also become more brittle and susceptible to cracking or breaking due to external forces, such as bending and twisting.
