METHYL CHLOROACETATE Resistant O-Rings and Seals
Methyl chloroacetate, also known as chloroacetic acid methyl ester, is a colorless liquid with a pungent odor. It is used as a solvent in the production of pharmaceuticals, dyes, and pesticides. It is also used in the production of polymers and as a reactant in the production of esters.
When rubber is exposed to Methyl chloroacetate, the material can become brittle and crack easily. This can lead to failure of the seal or gasket, resulting in leaks or pressure loss. The rubber can also become saturated and swell, leading to a decrease in strength and elasticity. In addition, exposure to Methyl chloroacetate can cause discoloration and accelerated aging of the rubber, reducing its lifespan.
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.
