MINERAL OILS Resistant O-Rings and Seals
Mineral oils are also commonly referred to as paraffin oil, liquid paraffin, and white mineral oils. They are widely used in a variety of industries, including cosmetics, food processing, pharmaceuticals, and automotive. Common uses for these oils include lubrication, cleaning, and heat transfer.
When rubber is exposed to mineral oils, it can cause the rubber to become stiff and brittle. This can lead to cracking and tearing, as well as reduced elasticity and loss of flexibility. Additionally, the rubber can become discolored and brittle, which can reduce its lifespan and make it more prone to failure.
