MERCURIC CHLORIDE Resistant O-Rings and Seals
Mercuric chloride, also known as calomel, is a colorless or white crystalline powder used in various industrial processes such as electroplating, medicine, and photography. It is also used as a catalyst in organic synthesis and as a preservative in some laboratory experiments.
When rubber is exposed to mercuric chloride, it can cause swelling, cracking, and discoloration due to the corrosive nature of the chemical. In addition, prolonged exposure can lead to a breakdown of the rubber material, resulting in a loss of its flexibility and elasticity. If the rubber is not properly protected or shielded, it can result in premature failure.
