Noryl GE Phenolic is a type of thermoplastic resin that is composed of polyphenylene oxide and bisphenol A. It is a strong, stiff, and flame-resistant material that is used in the production of electrical components and structural applications. It is also used in the automotive and aerospace industries as a lightweight, durable material.
When rubber is exposed to Noryl GE Phenolic, it can cause hardening, shrinking, and cracking. The material can also react with accelerators, causing discoloration and deterioration of the rubber. The rubber may become brittle and brittle, leading to a decrease in its abrasion, tear, and tensile strength. Noryl GE Phenolic can also cause blooming, which is a white powdery residue on the surface of the rubber.
Buna-N o-rings also referred to as NBR o-rings and Nitrile o-rings are the most widely used o-ring material in the word because of low cost, good mechanical performance with resistance to water, most basic oils, lubricants and some fuels, many pneumatic, hydraulic systems, and the default choice for basic applications. Buna-N o-rings are not recommended for exposure to sunlight, UV light, ozone and general outdoor weathering or hash chemicals, acids, keytones and many others.
