PRESTONE ANTIFREEZE Resistant O-Rings and Seals
Prestone Antifreeze is an antifreeze and coolant product widely used in automotive engines and other systems. It is also known by its chemical name, ethylene glycol, and is commonly used in industrial processes.
When rubber is exposed to Prestone Antifreeze, the rubber can experience a range of failure modes. The ethylene glycol in the antifreeze can cause the rubber to become brittle and crack, leading to premature failure. It can also cause the rubber to swell and become soft, resulting in loss of strength and elasticity. In some cases, it can cause corrosion of the rubber material, leading to further weakening. In extreme cases, Prestone Antifreeze can cause the rubber to combust, leading to a complete breakdown of the material.
Fluorosilicone (FVMQ, FSIL)
Fluorosilicone o-rings are a hybrid of silicone and FKM resulting in great jet fuel resistance with high and low temperature performance. Also widely used in semiconductor Ashing equipment with strong resistance to oxygen plasma, FVMQ fluorosilicone o-rings also feature excellent flexibility, compression resistance, aging and sunlight resistance, and overall wide range of basic chemical resistance.
