DIFLUOROMONOCHLOROETHANE Resistant O-Rings and Seals
Difluoromonochloroethane, also known as HCFC-141b, is a colorless, non-toxic gas used as a foam blowing agent, a refrigerant, and a blowing agent in aerosol products.
When rubber is exposed to difluoromonochloroethane, it can cause swelling, hardening and embrittlement of the rubber material. This can lead to a decrease in elasticity, tear strength and tensile strength, making the rubber more brittle and susceptible to cracking or breaking due to external forces, such as bending and twisting. Additionally, high temperatures can accelerate the effects, leading to further embrittlement and cracking.
