METHYLGLYCEROL Resistant O-Rings and Seals
Methylglycerol, also known as 1,2-propanediol, is a colorless, viscous liquid with a sweet, musty odour. It is commonly used in the manufacture of polyesters, lubricants, resins, and adhesives. It is also used as a plasticizer in the production of rubber and plastic coatings.
When exposed to methylglycerol, rubber can become brittle and lose its elasticity, leading to cracks and eventual failure. The rubber may also become discolored and swollen, reducing its resistance to wear and tear. In addition, the rubber may become sticky and tacky, making it difficult to use and causing premature failure. The chemical may also cause the rubber to become soft and weaken, leading to further degradation and a reduction in the material's life span.
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.
