POTASSIUM ACETATE Resistant O-Rings and Seals
Potassium acetate, also known as potash, is a salt derived from acetic acid and potassium hydroxide. It is commonly used in a variety of industries, including food processing, pharmaceuticals, and chemical production. It is also used as a preservative, an antifreeze, and as a cleaning agent.
When rubber is exposed to potassium acetate, it can experience a number of different types of failure. The most common is the breakdown of the rubber due to the oxidization of the material. This can result in the rubber becoming brittle and cracked, which can cause it to fail prematurely. In addition, the acidity of the potassium acetate can also cause corrosion of the rubber, leading to further deterioration of the material.
EPDM (EP, EPR, Ethylene-Propylene Rubber)
EPDM o-rings, or ethylene propylene o-rings, are a family of synthetic elastomers with lower cost steam and chemical resistance, particularly for applications involving solvents, acids and other mild chemicals. Marco Rubber has the world’s largest inventory network of EPDM o-rings and made on demand custom manufacturing often without tooling fees, so the EPDM o-rings you need are always available. Whether it’s for water systems, braking systems, medical, pharmaceutical, food or dairy use, you can count on Marco Rubber to deliver your o-rings fast and efficiently.
