PROPYLBENZENE Resistant O-Rings and Seals
Propylbenzene, also known as propylbenzol or isopropylbenzene, is an organic chemical compound that is primarily used as a solvent in the manufacture of paints, varnishes, and other coating materials. It is also used as an intermediate in the production of dyes and pharmaceuticals.
When exposed to propylbenzene, rubber can suffer from a variety of issues. The rubber can become brittle and crack, or it can swell and become soft and sticky. Prolonged exposure can also lead to the rubber becoming discolored and fading, as well as a decrease in its tensile strength. Additionally, propylbenzene can cause the rubber to become sticky and gummy, making it difficult to handle.
