NICKEL CYANIDE Resistant O-Rings and Seals
Nickel chloride is also known as hexahydrate nickel chloride and nickel dichloride. It is a chemical compound used in electroplating, photography, and the production of pigments and dyes. Nickel chloride is also used as a corrosion inhibitor and to manufacture catalysts.
When rubber is exposed to nickel chloride, it can suffer from swelling, shrinkage, cracking, and embrittlement. This is due to the chemical reaction between the nickel chloride and the rubber, causing the rubber to become brittle and lose its flexibility. The rubber can also become discolored due to the reaction. Additionally, if the rubber is exposed to high concentrations of nickel chloride, it can cause further degradation due to the corrosive nature of the chemical.
Fluorosilicone (FVMQ, FSIL)
Fluorosilicone o-rings are a hybrid of silicone and FKM resulting in great jet fuel resistance with high and low temperature performance. Also widely used in semiconductor Ashing equipment with strong resistance to oxygen plasma, FVMQ fluorosilicone o-rings also feature excellent flexibility, compression resistance, aging and sunlight resistance, and overall wide range of basic chemical resistance.
