ISOBUTYL CHLORIDE Resistant O-Rings and Seals
Isobutyl chloride, also known as 2-methyl-1-chloropropane, is a colorless, flammable liquid with a pungent, chloroform-like odor. It is widely used as a solvent, a reaction intermediate, and an extraction agent in the chemical, pharmaceutical, and agricultural industries.
When rubber is exposed to isobutyl chloride, 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 swell, making it difficult to maintain a seal. Additionally, isobutyl chloride can cause swelling and oxidation, which can lead to cracking and failure. It can also cause premature hardening and embrittlement of the rubber, leading to failure.
