OCTACHLOROTOLUENE Resistant O-Rings and Seals
Octachlorotoluene, also known as octa, octo, perchlorotoluene, and perchlorobenzene, is an aromatic hydrocarbon with a variety of industrial applications. It is used as a solvent in paints, printing inks, adhesives, and in the production of pharmaceuticals. Octachlorotoluene can have a damaging effect on rubber when exposed to it for an extended period of time. The rubber material can suffer from swelling, brittleness, cracking, discoloration, and a decrease in tensile strength. In extreme cases, the rubber can become brittle and break, leading to a complete failure of the material.
