NITROPHENOL Resistant O-Rings and Seals
Nitromethane is a volatile, colorless liquid that is most commonly used as a fuel in drag racing, motorbikes, and model rocketry. It is also used as a solvent for various industrial applications.
Rubber materials exposed to nitromethane tend to exhibit signs of swelling, cracking, and changes in hardness. These signs can be seen in as little as a few hours of exposure and can lead to a complete breakdown of the rubber material over time. Additionally, nitromethane can cause rubber materials to become brittle due to the high volatility 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.
