POTASSIUM PERCHLORATE Resistant O-Rings and Seals
Potassium perchlorate is a chemical compound widely used in rocket propellants and fireworks, as well as in matches, flares, and other pyrotechnic devices. It is also used in fertilizers, explosives, and as a disinfectant. When rubber is exposed to potassium perchlorate, it can cause swelling and cracking due to the highly oxidizing nature of the compound. In addition, the chemical can cause rubber to become brittle, resulting in a loss of elasticity and flexibility. The rubber can also experience accelerated aging, leading to premature failure. In some cases, the chemical can also corrode the rubber, resulting in a loss of structural integrity.
