PLATING SOLUTION, INDIUM Resistant O-Rings and Seals
Plating solution, indium is also known as indium chloride or indium sulfate. It is a common industrial chemical used in metal plating and as a catalyst in chemical reactions. It is also used in the production of semiconductor materials and for coating optical components.
Common types of failure when rubber is exposed to indium plating solution include discoloration, softening, and accelerated aging. Discoloration can occur if the rubber is exposed to indium plating solution for long periods of time, resulting in a slight yellowish tint. Softening occurs when the rubber is exposed to indium plating solution, resulting in decreased flexibility, increased brittleness, and reduced tear strength. Accelerated aging of rubber occurs due to the corrosion of the rubber caused by the indium plating solution, leading to degradation and decreased performance.
