METHACRYLIC ACID Resistant O-Rings and Seals
Methacrylic acid, also known as 2-methylpropenoic acid, is an organic compound commonly used in the production of polymers, resins, and copolymers products. It is also widely used in the manufacture of paint, coatings, adhesives, and sealants.
When rubber is exposed to methacrylic acid, it can cause a number of issues, such as softening, swelling, cracking, and discoloration. This can lead to a decrease in the service life of rubber products, as well as a decrease in their physical properties. Additionally, prolonged exposure of rubber to methacrylic acid can cause the rubber to become brittle, resulting in a loss of strength and elasticity. The presence of water can also cause an accelerated degradation of rubber when exposed to methacrylic acid.
