LEAD CARBONATE Resistant O-Rings and Seals
Lead Carbonate, also known as Cerussite, is a chemical compound commonly used in industries such as paint production and ceramics. It is also used as a pigment in cosmetics, plastics, and rubber.
When rubber is exposed to Lead Carbonate, it can suffer from a variety of failures. The rubber can become brittle and suffer from cracking or tearing. This is due to the Lead Carbonate reacting with the rubber and causing it to break down. Additionally, the rubber may discolor and the surface may become rough as a result of the reaction. Lead Carbonate is also known to be corrosive to certain rubber materials, and if left in contact with rubber for too long, it can cause the rubber to degrade and become brittle. Additionally, exposure to Lead Carbonate can lead to the rubber becoming more susceptible to oxidation, leading to further damage.
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.
