MANNITOL Resistant O-Rings and Seals
Mannitol, also known as mannite, is a natural sugar alcohol commonly used as a sweetener and in pharmaceutical products. It is also used in food production, as a dietary fiber, and as a cryoprotectant for organ preservation. Common types of failures when rubber is exposed to mannitol include swelling, softening, and cracking. These failures can be caused by the sugar alcohol's hygroscopic properties, which draw moisture from the environment into the rubber. This moisture can cause the rubber to swell and soften, making it more likely to crack. In addition, the acidic nature of mannitol may cause the rubber to corrode and degrade.
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.
