METHYL BUTANETHIOL Resistant O-Rings and Seals
Methyl butanethiol, also known as 2-methyl-3-butanethiol, is a colorless liquid with a strong odor. It is primarily used as a precursor in the production of flavor and fragrance compounds, as well as in fuel additives. It is also used in some industrial processes, such as leather tanning.
When exposed to methyl butanethiol, rubber can become brittle and crack. It can also cause discoloration and swelling, leading to decreased performance of the rubber material. It can also cause rubber to become less resistant to other chemicals, leading to further degradation. In extreme cases, it can also lead to complete disintegration of the rubber material. Additionally, methyl butanethiol can cause oxidation of the rubber, leading to further damage.
