NAPHTHALENE SULFONIC ACID Resistant O-Rings and Seals

Naphthalene sulfonic acid, also known as naphthalene sulfonate, is a chemical compound used as a surfactant in a variety of applications. It is commonly used in detergents, cleaning products, and as a dispersant for oil and grease. It is also used in the production of dyes, plastics, and rubber.

When rubber is exposed to naphthalene sulfonic acid, there can be a number of different types of failure. The most common type of failure is accelerated degradation due to the chemical reaction between the rubber and the naphthalene sulfonic acid. This can cause the rubber to become brittle and reduce its flexibility, leading to cracking and tearing. Additionally, naphthalene sulfonic acid can cause the rubber to swell and become sticky, making it difficult to use in certain applications.
