METHYL CYANIDE Resistant O-Rings and Seals
Common names for Methyl cyanide include acetonitrile, cyanomethane and CH3CN. It is a colourless liquid which is used in various industrial applications such as in the production of pharmaceuticals, solvents, rubber accelerators, and as a reagent for organic synthesis.
When rubber is exposed to Methyl cyanide, the rubber can become brittle and crack due to the chemical reaction caused by the presence of the chemical. Additionally, it can also cause the rubber to swell and become less flexible, leading to failures such as cracking, tearing, and bursting. The rubber can also become discolored and porous due to the oxidation of the rubber.
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.
