LITHIUM HYDROXIDE Resistant O-Rings and Seals
Lithium Hydroxide, also known as Lithium Hydrate, is a white crystalline inorganic compound often used in a variety of industrial applications. It is most commonly used in the manufacture of lithium batteries, as well as in air purification systems, as a catalyst in chemical reactions, and as a flame retardant in plastics.
Common types of failures when rubber is exposed to Lithium Hydroxide include discoloration, softening, swelling, cracking and an overall loss of physical strength and integrity. When rubber is exposed to this compound, it can become brittle and brittle, resulting in a shortening of its useful lifespan. Additionally, prolonged exposure to this compound can lead to a tacky surface, resulting in 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.
