LITHIUM NITRATE Resistant O-Rings and Seals
Lithium Nitrate is also known as nitrolith and is commonly used as an oxidizing agent in various industrial processes. It is often used in the production of glass and enamels, as a catalyst in organic synthesis, and as a fuel in solid-propellant rocket motors. Common failures when rubber is exposed to Lithium Nitrate include swelling, discoloration, hardening, and brittleness of the rubber material. This is due to the strong oxidizing properties of the chemical, which can cause cracking or disintegration of the rubber.
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.
