NATURAL GAS Resistant O-Rings and Seals
Natural gas, also known as methane, is a naturally occurring gas composed primarily of methane. It is used as a fuel in homes and businesses, as well as an energy source for electricity generation. It is also used in a variety of industrial processes, such as metal refining, fertilizer production, and chemical manufacturing.
When rubber is exposed to natural gas, it can cause various types of failure. Swelling is the most common type of failure, as the gas can seep into the rubber, causing it to expand and weaken. Other types of failure include cracking, hardening, and discoloration of the rubber. In extreme cases, prolonged exposure to natural gas can cause the rubber to become brittle and break down completely.
