Ferrous ammonium citrate, also known as iron citrate, is a chemical compound used in various industrial and agricultural processes. Common uses for ferrous ammonium citrate include water treatment, soil conditioning, and as a plant nutrient. Common types of failures when rubber is exposed to ferrous ammonium citrate include cracking and discoloration, as well as swelling and softening of the rubber due to its acidic nature. Additionally, the chemical can cause rubber to become brittle and break down over time.
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.
