METALDEHYDE Resistant O-Rings and Seals
Methylaldehyde, also commonly known as mesityl oxide, is an organic compound that is widely used in the production of dyes, perfumes, aldehyde derivatives, and fuel additives. It is also used in the manufacture of rubber products and in the tanning of leather.
When rubber comes into contact with mesityl oxide, it can cause a number of issues, such as softening, swelling, discoloration, and cracking. This can lead to a decrease in the service life of rubber products, as well as a decrease in their physical properties. Additionally, if the rubber is exposed to mesityl oxide for an extended period of time, it can cause the rubber to become brittle, resulting in a loss of strength and elasticity.
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.
