HEXACHLOROBUTENE Resistant O-Rings and Seals
Hexachlorobutene is also known as Perchlorobutadiene, Butadiene chloride, and Butadiene trichloride. It is commonly used as a solvent and in the production of rubber and plastics. It is also used in the production of lubricants and paints.
When rubber is exposed to hexachlorobutene it can cause a variety of failures, such as cracking, swelling, and embrittlement. These failures can be caused by the chemical reacting with the rubber’s components, or by the chemical degrading the rubber’s structure. In addition, prolonged and/or intense exposure to hexachlorobutene can cause the rubber to harden, leading to a loss of elasticity, flexibility, and strength.
