ISOBUTYL ALCOHOL Resistant O-Rings and Seals
Isobutyl alcohol, also known as 2-methyl-1-propanol, is a clear, colorless, flammable liquid with a characteristic pungent odor. It is used as a solvent in the pharmaceutical, agricultural, and metalworking industries. It is also used in the production of lacquers, enamels, and varnishes.
When rubber is exposed to isobutyl alcohol, the rubber may become brittle and crack, leading to failure. Additionally, the rubber may become sticky or tacky, leading to a decreased life span and a weakened seal. The rubber may also become discolored or swollen, making it difficult to maintain a seal. Additionally, isobutyl alcohol can cause swelling and oxidation, which can lead to cracking and failure.
