NITROTOLUENE Resistant O-Rings and Seals
Nitrotoluene, also known as nitro toluene or methylnitrobenzene, is an aromatic organic compound with the chemical formula C7H7NO2. It is used in the manufacture of dyes, explosives, and propellants.
Exposure to nitrotoluene can cause rubber to become brittle, leading to cracking and crumbling. Over time, the rubber can become so weakened that it fails. Long-term exposure can also cause the rubber to swell and soften, making it prone to further damage from expansion and contraction. In addition, nitrotoluene is soluble in oil, which can cause increased softening and swelling of the rubber.
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.
