FERRIC ACETATE Resistant O-Rings and Seals
Ferric acetate, also known as iron acetate, is an inorganic compound commonly used in industrial and manufacturing processes. It is used in the production of paints, dyes, and inks, as well as for wastewater treatment and in the production of iron oxides.
When rubber is exposed to ferric acetate, it can lead to swelling and softening of the rubber. This can result in a decrease in the material’s tensile strength and an increase in its brittleness, which can lead to cracking and eventual failure. Additionally, ferric acetate can cause corrosion of the rubber, leading to discoloration and further weakening of the material. To prevent these issues, it is important to use rubber materials that are resistant to the effects of ferric acetate, such as nitrile rubber, butyl rubber, and fluorosilicone.
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.
