PHENOL Resistant O-Rings and Seals
Phenol, also known as carbolic acid or phenic acid, is an organic compound with a wide variety of uses. It is used as a solvent and antiseptic in the medical and pharmaceutical industries, as well as in the production of plastics, rubbers, and other synthetic materials.
When rubber is exposed to phenol, it can cause swelling, discoloration, and increased brittleness. In extreme cases, phenol can also cause rubber to become hard and crack, leading to eventual failure. Additionally, phenol can cause rubber to become brittle and prone to tearing, reducing its lifespan.
