DOW CORNING 55 Resistant O-Rings and Seals
Dow Corning 510, also known as Phenyl Trimethicone, is a silicone-based oil that is used in a variety of industries, including cosmetics, automotive, and medical. It is a colorless, odorless, and low viscosity oil that is used as a lubricant, surfactant, and conditioner. Common uses of Phenyl Trimethicone include skin moisturizers, hair conditioners, makeup, and lubricants.
When rubber is exposed to Phenyl Trimethicone, it can cause a number of different types of failures. These include swelling, softening, or hardening of the rubber material, discoloration, cracking, and/or loss of elasticity. In some cases, exposure to the chemical can even lead to complete disintegration of the rubber material. In order to prevent these types of failures, it is important to ensure that the rubber material is properly sealed and protected from direct contact with the Phenyl Trimethicone.
