METHYL PROPYL SALICYLATE Resistant O-Rings and Seals
Methyl Propyl Salicylate, also known as Methyl Salicylate, is an organic compound used in various industrial and commercial applications. It is most commonly used as a flavor and fragrance additive in food, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals. Additionally, it is used in some paints, lacquers, and inks.
When rubber is exposed to Methyl Propyl Salicylate, it can cause swelling, softening, and embrittlement. Additionally, the compound can cause the rubber to become brittle and prone to cracking. Over time, this can lead to a loss of physical properties and product failure. In some cases, the solvent can also cause a loss of color, odor, and taste, which can be a major issue in certain applications.
