Isodecanol is also commonly known as 1-decanol, decylic alcohol, and n-decyl alcohol. It is used in a variety of industries, including the manufacture of cosmetics, surfactants, and emulsifiers, as well as in the production of lubricants, solvents, and fuel additives.
Rubber materials exposed to isodecanol can suffer from swelling, cracking, and brittleness. In some cases, the rubber can become soft and lose its structural integrity. Additionally, isodecanol can cause the rubber to become sticky or tacky, and it can also cause discoloration or staining. The effects of isodecanol on rubber may be accelerated by heat and light.
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.
