HYJET W is a synthetic water-based hydraulic fluid used in a variety of industries such as aircraft, automotive, industrial, and marine. Common applications include hydraulic systems, power transmissions, and other industrial machinery.
When rubber is exposed to HYJET W, common failures can include swelling, cracking, and softening. Swelling is caused by the fluid's ability to permeate the rubber, making it become enlarged. Cracking can occur due to the fluid's high viscosity, which causes the rubber to become brittle and crack. Lastly, softening can occur due to the fluid's ability to reduce the rubber's tensile strength, making it less durable and more prone to failure.
EPDM o-rings, or ethylene propylene o-rings, are a family of synthetic elastomers with lower cost steam and chemical resistance, particularly for applications involving solvents, acids and other mild chemicals. Marco Rubber has the world’s largest inventory network of EPDM o-rings and made on demand custom manufacturing often without tooling fees, so the EPDM o-rings you need are always available. Whether it’s for water systems, braking systems, medical, pharmaceutical, food or dairy use, you can count on Marco Rubber to deliver your o-rings fast and efficiently.
