LEAD DIOXIDE Resistant O-Rings and Seals
Lead Chromate, also known as Lead Chromate Yellow, Lead Yellow, and Chrome Yellow, is a widely used yellow pigment in a variety of industries. It is commonly used in printing inks, paints, plastics, and rubber products.
When rubber is exposed to lead chromate, the pigment can cause a number of issues. The most common types of failures include premature cracking, discoloration, and loss of elasticity. The damage is caused by the pigment's corrosive properties, which can cause oxidation, hardening, and embrittlement of the rubber. In extreme cases, the rubber can become brittle and disintegrate completely.
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.
