ESSENTIAL OILS Resistant O-Rings and Seals
Essential oils, also known as EO, ESS06, or aroma oils, are highly concentrated liquids derived from plants. Common uses of essential oils include aromatherapy, skin care, and natural cleaning products.
Rubber materials can be negatively impacted by essential oils due to the high concentrations of volatile compounds. These compounds can cause the rubber to swell, harden, or crack. Over time, the rubber may become brittle or lose its elasticity. In addition, the rubber can be weakened by the presence of essential oils, leading to premature failure.
