LITHIUM CITRATE Resistant O-Rings and Seals
Lithium Chloride, also known as Lithium Salt, is a white, crystalline inorganic compound often used in a variety of industrial applications. It is most commonly used as a flux agent in welding, as a source of heat in blast furnaces and as a catalyst in chemical reactions. It can also be used as a corrosion inhibitor, a desiccant, a flavor enhancer and a preservative.
Common types of failures when rubber is exposed to Lithium Chloride include discoloration, softening, swelling, cracking and an overall loss of physical strength and integrity. Rubber components exposed to Lithium Chloride can become brittle and brittle, resulting in a shortening of their useful lifespan. Additionally, prolonged exposure to this compound can cause the rubber to become tacky, leading to adhesion problems.
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.
