DIMETHYLAMINE Resistant O-Rings and Seals
DIMETHYLAMINE is also known as dimethane, dimethylamine, and N,N-dimethylethanamine. It is commonly used as a precursor to other chemicals in the production of polyurethane foam, pesticides, dyes and adhesives. It is also used directly for cleaning and degreasing operations.
When rubber is exposed to dimethylamine, it can experience several different types of failure. The material can become brittle, swell, crack, and discolor. In extreme cases, the compound can cause the rubber to break down completely, leading to a complete loss of its mechanical properties. Additionally, prolonged exposure to dimethylamine can lead to the formation of large deposits which can further degrade the rubber.
EPDM (EP, EPR, Ethylene-Propylene Rubber)
EPDM o-rings, or ethylene propylene o-rings, are a family of synthetic elastomers with lower cost steam and chemical resistance, particularly for applications involving solvents, acids and other mild chemicals. Marco Rubber has the world’s largest inventory network of EPDM o-rings and made on demand custom manufacturing often without tooling fees, so the EPDM o-rings you need are always available. Whether it’s for water systems, braking systems, medical, pharmaceutical, food or dairy use, you can count on Marco Rubber to deliver your o-rings fast and efficiently.
