NONANE Resistant O-Rings and Seals
Nonane, also known as n-Nonane or n-Pentadecane, is a hydrocarbon alkane with the chemical formula C9H20. It is a colorless liquid at room temperature and is used as a solvent in the paint, varnish, and lacquer industry. It is also used as a component of gasoline, as an additive in lubricants, and in the manufacture of rubber.
When rubber is exposed to Nonane, it can cause swelling, softening and embrittlement. The polymers in the rubber can be broken down, leading to a decrease in tensile strength and tear resistance. Nonane can also react with accelerators and other rubber additives, resulting in discoloration and deformation. The rubber can become brittle and cracked, causing it to fracture easily.
