HYDROCHLORIC ACID, HOT 37% Resistant O-Rings and Seals
Hydrochloric acid, hot 37%, is a highly corrosive, colorless to yellowish-tinged liquid with an intensely pungent odor. It is most commonly used in chemical production, metal processing, and in the manufacturing of dyes and pigments.
When rubber is exposed to hydrochloric acid, hot 37%, the rubber may experience a decrease in tensile strength, elongation, and tear strength. The rubber seal can become brittle, crack, and fracture due to the acid, as well as discolored and pitted. The rubber seal can also swell and soften due to the acid. Furthermore, the rubber may become permanently damaged due to the chemical reaction with the acid and the high temperatures of the concentrated acid.
