ETHYLSULFURIC ACID is also known as ethanesulfonic acid, sulfoacetic acid, and sulfoethylsulfuric acid. It is an organosulfur compound that is commonly used as a laboratory reagent and corrosion inhibitor in various industries.
When rubber is exposed to ETHYLSULFURIC ACID, it can cause a variety of different types of failures. The most common being swelling, cracking, and discoloration of the rubber. Swelling can occur when the rubber is exposed to high concentrations of the acid, causing the rubber to expand and lose its shape. Cracking can occur when the rubber is exposed to the acid for an extended period of time, causing it to weaken and crack. Discoloration can also occur when the rubber is exposed to the acid, causing it to change color or become stained.
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.
