FC 43 Resistant O-Rings and Seals
FC 43 is also known as Perfluorobutanesulfonic acid (PFBS) and is a fluorinated surfactant used in applications such as firefighting foams, oil and water repellents, stain-resistant coatings, and manufacturing of electronics.
When rubber is exposed to PFBS, it can lead to swelling, cracking, and accelerated degradation of the rubber. Additionally, the rubber may become brittle and, in some cases, swell to the point of failure. Prolonged exposure can cause the rubber to become brittle and suffer from accelerated degradation, leading to premature failure.
