DIMETHYL ACETAMIDE Resistant O-Rings and Seals
Dimethyl acetamide, also known as DMAC, is a versatile chemical solvent used in many industries, including pharmaceuticals, agriculture, and paint. DMAC is an excellent solvent for polymers, waxes, and resins, and is used as an extraction agent and a cleaning agent. DMAC is also used as a coupling agent for polymers and a stripping agent for metal surfaces.
When rubber is exposed to DMAC, it can become brittle and prone to cracking or breaking. The chemical's solvent properties can also cause rubber to swell, resulting in decreased strength and a loss of elasticity. Additionally, DMAC can react with certain rubber materials, causing them to weaken and degrade over time.
Fluorosilicone (FVMQ, FSIL)
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.
