POTASSIUM BROMATE, 10% Resistant O-Rings and Seals
Potassium bromate, 10% is also known as Potassium bromide, bromic acid and bromic acid potassium salt. It is a chemical compound primarily used as an oxidizing agent and food preservative. It is also used in photography and in the manufacture of dyes and pharmaceuticals.
When exposed to potassium bromate, 10%, rubber materials may experience a variety of failures such as cracking, swelling, discoloration, and even dissolution. The severity of the failure depends on the type of rubber, the concentration of the chemical, and the length of exposure. For example, EPDM and neoprene rubbers may experience swelling and cracking due to their sensitivity to the chemical. On the other hand, nitrile and silicone rubbers may resist the effects of the chemical and remain unaffected.
