NEON Resistant O-Rings and Seals
Neon is a chemical element with the symbol Ne and atomic number 10. This noble gas is commonly used in lighting applications, where it emits a bright reddish-orange glow. It is also used in vacuum tubes, high-voltage indicators, television tubes, and helium-neon lasers.
When rubber is exposed to neon, the rubber can experience cracking, brittleness, and other forms of deterioration. The rubber can become stiff, brittle, and cracked due to the gases’ oxidation properties. Additionally, long-term exposure to neon can weaken the rubber’s bonds, leading to a breakdown of the material. High temperatures can also accelerate the breakdown process, causing the rubber to become brittle and fragile.
