Lithium Hypochlorite is also known as lithium oxychloride and is a strong oxidizing agent used in the formulation of bleaches, disinfectants, and other cleaning agents. It is commonly used in industrial and commercial settings to disinfect water and treat wastewater. Common failures when rubber is exposed to Lithium Hypochlorite include cracking or disintegration of the rubber due to the strong oxidizing properties of the chemical. This can result in swelling, discoloration, hardening, and brittleness of the rubber material.
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.
