Mercuric Sulfate, also known as mercuric sulfide or mercuric oxide, is a chemical compound that is used in a variety of industries, including food, medicine, and industrial production. It is used in the production of dyes, inks, and paints, as well as in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals and rubber products. Common applications of mercuric sulfate include water treatment, leather tanning, and wood preservation.
When rubber is exposed to Mercuric Sulfate, it can cause embrittlement and cracking due to the corrosive nature of the chemical. The rubber material can also become discolored and suffer from swelling and shrinkage. Additionally, Mercuric Sulfate can react with certain rubber additives and cause the rubber to become brittle and crack prematurely.
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.
