Lindol Hydraulic Fluid, also known as Phosphate Ester Type, is a widely used hydraulic fluid that is used primarily in the automotive and aviation industries. It is also used in the industrial, agricultural, and mining industries. Common uses for Lindol Hydraulic Fluid include its use in shock absorbers, brakes, and power steering systems.
When rubber is exposed to Lindol Hydraulic Fluid, the most common type of failure is degradation of the rubber material. This can occur due to the high temperatures generated when the fluid is used, as well as the oils and acids present in the fluid. Over time, these oils and acids can break down the rubber, leading to seals and gaskets failing and premature wear of parts. Additionally, the fluid can cause swelling and cracking of the rubber, leading to further failure.
EPDM o-rings, or ethylene propylene o-rings, are a family of synthetic elastomers with lower cost steam and chemical resistance, particularly for applications involving solvents, acids and other mild chemicals. Marco Rubber has the world’s largest inventory network of EPDM o-rings and made on demand custom manufacturing often without tooling fees, so the EPDM o-rings you need are always available. Whether it’s for water systems, braking systems, medical, pharmaceutical, food or dairy use, you can count on Marco Rubber to deliver your o-rings fast and efficiently.
