NAPHTHALENIC Resistant O-Rings and Seals
Naphthalenic, also known as naphthalene or tar camphor, is a bicyclic aromatic hydrocarbon found in coal tar and petroleum. It has a wide range of applications in the chemical industry, including being used as a solvent, a fuel, and a pesticide. It is also used in the production of dyes, plastics, and rubber.
When rubber is exposed to naphthalenic, it can suffer from a number of different types of failures. The most common type of failure is degradation of the rubber due to the chemical reaction between the rubber and the naphthalenic. This can lead to the rubber becoming brittle and less flexible, leading to tearing and cracking. Additionally, naphthalenic can cause the rubber to swell and become sticky, making it difficult to use in certain applications.
