NITROGYLCEROL Resistant O-Rings and Seals
Nitroglycerol, also known as glyceryl trinitrate (GTN) and glycerol trinitrate, is a nitrate ester commonly used in the production of propellants and explosives. It is widely used in the mining, military, and aerospace industries.
When rubber is exposed to nitroglycerol, the material can become brittle, swell, and even crack. The chemical can cause an increase in temperature, leading to a decrease in the rubber's elasticity and strength. Additionally, nitroglycerol can cause rubber to become hard and brittle, leading to a decrease in the life of the rubber material.
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.
