PARATHION Resistant O-Rings and Seals
Parathion, also known as ethyl parathion, is an organophosphate pesticide used to control various insects. It is commonly used in agriculture, forestry, and public health settings. Common types of failures when rubber is exposed to parathion include swelling, hardening, and embrittlement. In some cases, the rubber may become tacky, leading to seal failure. Additionally, the rubber may become brittle due to the oxidation of the chemical, which can cause premature failure.
