INK Resistant O-Rings and Seals
INK, also known as printing ink, is a liquid or paste that contains pigments or dyes and is used to color a surface to produce an image, text, or design. Inks are used in a variety of industries, including for printing documents, for writing and drawing, for painting, for decorating fabrics, and for creating tattoos.
When rubber is exposed to INK, the ink can cause degradation of the rubber over time. This is especially true if the rubber is exposed to large amounts of ink over a long period of time. The ink can seep into the rubber, making it brittle and causing it to crack or break. Additionally, the ink can cause discoloration or fading of the rubber, reducing its aesthetic appeal.
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.
