HYDROLUBE, WATER & ETHYLENE GLYCOL Resistant O-Rings and Seals
Hydrolube, also known as water and ethylene glycol, is a combination of water and ethylene glycol that is used as a lubricant and coolant in various industries. It is commonly used in automotive and industrial applications, as well as in manufacturing processes. Hydrolube is also used as a hydraulic fluid in some applications.
When exposed to water and ethylene glycol, rubber can become weak and brittle. The glycol can cause the rubber to swell, which can reduce its strength and durability. Furthermore, the ethylene glycol can cause rubber to become tacky and sticky, making it difficult to handle and creating a safety hazard. In addition, the glycol can corrode and degrade rubber, leading to premature failure.
