FERRIC AMMONIUM SULFATE Resistant O-Rings and Seals

Ferric ammonium sulfate, also known as iron ammonium sulfate, is an inorganic compound used in a variety of applications in the chemical, agricultural, and pharmaceutical industries. It is used in the production of dyes, pigments, and inks, as well as in the production of fertilizers and other agricultural chemicals.

When rubber is exposed to ferric ammonium sulfate, it can cause swelling and softening of the material, resulting in a decrease in tensile strength and an increase in brittleness. This can lead to cracking and eventual failure of the rubber. Additionally, the compound 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 ammonium sulfate, such as nitrile rubber, butyl rubber, and fluorosilicone.
