HEXAMETHYLENEDIAMINE Resistant O-Rings and Seals
HEXAMETHYLENEDIAMINE, also known as 1,6-hexanediamine, is a chemical compound used in the production of polyamides and polyimides. It is also used as an intermediate in the production of polyetheramines and polyurethanes. Common uses for hexamethylenediamine include the manufacture of lubricants, paints, adhesives, and polyurethane foams.
When rubber is exposed to hexamethylenediamine, the chemical can cause the rubber to swell and become softer as it breaks down the bonds between molecules. This can lead to a decrease in the mechanical strength of the rubber, making it more susceptible to tears, cracks, and other types of damage. Additionally, the chemical can cause changes in the color and odor of the rubber, making it appear and smell different than before.
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.
