DOW CORNING 710 Resistant O-Rings and Seals
DOW CORNING 710, also known as Dimethylpolysiloxane, is a silicone-based organic compound commonly used as a lubricant, sealant and protective coating. It is typically used in the automotive, electronics, aerospace, and medical industries.
When rubber is exposed to DOW CORNING 710, the most common types of failure are swelling, cracking, and brittle failure. Swelling occurs when the silicone component of the material mixes with the rubber, causing expansion. Cracking can occur when the rubber is exposed to high temperatures. Finally, brittle failure may occur when the rubber's surface is degraded due to the silicone component breaking down the rubber's molecular structure.
