EXHAUST GASES, CONTAINING CARBON DIOXIDE Resistant O-Rings and Seals
Exhaust gases containing carbon dioxide, also known as CO2, are generated by the combustion of fossil fuels such as gasoline and diesel. Common uses for CO2 include refrigeration, carbonation of food and beverages, and as a propellant in aerosol cans.
When rubber is exposed to exhaust gases containing carbon dioxide, 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 gas, causing it to expand and lose its shape. Cracking can occur when the rubber is exposed to the gas for an extended period of time, causing it to weaken and crack. Discoloration can also occur when the rubber is exposed to the gas, causing it to change color or become stained.
