GLYCEROL CHLORHYDRIN Resistant O-Rings and Seals
Glycerol Chlorhydrin, also known as chlorinated glycerol, is a clear, colorless, hygroscopic liquid that is used in various industries such as pharmaceuticals, textiles, and coatings. Common uses of glycerol chlorohydrin include solvents, plasticizers, and as a fire retardant.
When rubber is exposed to glycerol chlorohydrin, it can cause the rubber to become brittle, leading to cracking and premature failure. Additionally, the acidity of glycerol chlorohydrin can cause corrosion of the rubber, leading to an increase in its permeability and a decrease in its lifespan. The plasticizing properties of glycerol chlorohydrin can also cause the rubber to become softer and more pliable, leading to a decrease in its tensile strength. In some cases, the rubber can become sticky or tacky, and can cause discoloration over time.
EPDM (EP, EPR, Ethylene-Propylene Rubber)
EPDM o-rings, or ethylene propylene o-rings, are a family of synthetic elastomers with lower cost steam and chemical resistance, particularly for applications involving solvents, acids and other mild chemicals. Marco Rubber has the world’s largest inventory network of EPDM o-rings and made on demand custom manufacturing often without tooling fees, so the EPDM o-rings you need are always available. Whether it’s for water systems, braking systems, medical, pharmaceutical, food or dairy use, you can count on Marco Rubber to deliver your o-rings fast and efficiently.
