ETHOXYETHYL ACETATE Resistant O-Rings and Seals
Ethoxyethyl acetate is also known as ethylene glycol monethyl ether acetate and is commonly used as a solvent in the paint and coatings industry, as well as in the production of detergents and cleaners. It is also used to dissolve resins and waxes and as a preservative.
When rubber is exposed to ethoxyethyl acetate, it can cause swelling, degradation, and cracking of the rubber. It can also cause the rubber to become brittle and weak, leading to premature failure. Additionally, ethoxyethyl acetate can cause the rubber to become more susceptible to ozone and UV radiation, leading to further degradation 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.
