ORTHOCHLOROETHYL BENZENE Resistant O-Rings and Seals
ORTHOCHLOROETHYL BENZENE is also known as 1,2-dichloroethane, ethylene dichloride, or EDC. It is a chlorinated hydrocarbon that is commonly used as a solvent, a fumigant, and a degreaser. EDC is frequently used in industrial processes such as metal degreasing and in the production of vinyl chloride, which is used in the manufacturing of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plastic.
When rubber is exposed to EDC, it can cause the rubber to swell, harden, and crack. This can result in a decrease in the overall seal integrity, leading to leaks and reduced service life. Additionally, EDC may act as a plasticizer, resulting in a decrease in mechanical strength of the rubber, making it more prone to cracking and tearing.
