PETROL/BENZENE MIXTURE, 50/50% Resistant O-Rings and Seals
A petrol/benzene mixture, consisting of 50% petrol and 50% benzen, is commonly used as a solvent in rubber and plastic manufacturing. It is also used in the production of paints, varnishes, lubricants and adhesives.
Common failures when rubber is exposed to a petrol/benzen mixture include softening, swelling, and shrinkage of the rubber. Additionally, the rubber can become brittle, leading to cracking and failure. The rubber can also be prone to accelerated aging, which can cause the rubber to become hard and brittle over time. The mixture is highly flammable and can cause the rubber to become susceptible to cracking and tearing due to exposure to high temperatures.
