METHYL CARBONATE Resistant O-Rings and Seals
Methyl Carbonate, also known as dimethyl carbonate, is a colourless liquid with a mild odour. It is used as a solvent and as a reagent in organic synthesis. It is used as a chemical intermediate, a plasticizer and a flame retardant in many industries such as pharmaceuticals, textiles, plastics, and rubber.
When rubber is exposed to Methyl Carbonate, it can cause the rubber to swell and become brittle. Additionally, the rubber can become harder and more brittle over time, leading to cracks and other forms of physical damage. This can lead to potential leaks and other types of failure, especially when exposed to extreme temperatures or other harsh conditions.
