FURANE Resistant O-Rings and Seals
Furane, also known as Tetrahydrofuran, is an organic chemical compound used in a variety of industries. It is used to produce solvents, resins, and plastics, and is also used as a curing agent in the rubber industry. It can also be used as a precursor to produce various drugs and other chemicals in the pharmaceutical industry.
When rubber is exposed to Furane, it can cause swelling, cracking, and discoloration of the rubber due to its reactivity. In extreme cases, the rubber can become brittle and break down completely, leading to leaks and failure of the seals. To minimize the risk of failure, rubber seals should be checked more frequently when exposed to Furane and replaced more often when necessary.
