GLYCEROL DICHLOROHYDRIN Resistant O-Rings and Seals
Glycerol Dichlorohydrin, also known as dichlorinated glycerol, is a colorless liquid with a strong chlorine odor. It is commonly used as a fire retardant, a plasticizer, and an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals.
When rubber is exposed to glycerol dichlorohydrin, it can cause the rubber to become brittle, leading to cracking and premature failure. Additionally, the acidity of glycerol dichlorohydrin can corrode rubber, increasing its permeability and decreasing its lifespan. The plasticizing properties of glycerol dichlorohydrin 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.
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.
