PERCHLOROETHYLENE Resistant O-Rings and Seals
Perchloroethylene, also known as tetrachloroethylene, is a chlorinated hydrocarbon commonly used as a solvent in dry cleaning and metal degreasing. It is also used in the production of other chemicals, such as vinyl chloride.
When rubber is exposed to perchloroethylene, the rubber can swell, leading to weakened seals and gaskets, potentially resulting in leakage. Additionally, the solvent can cause cracking and brittleness of the rubber, leading to premature failure. As a result, exposure to perchloroethylene should be minimized.
