Pyridine Sulfate, also known as Pyridine-2-Sulfonic Acid or 2-Pyridinesulfonic Acid is a common chemical used in many industries. It is used in the production of coatings, adhesives, pharmaceuticals, detergents, and cosmetics. Common uses include the production of acrylic paints, antifreeze, and other chemical additives.
When rubber is exposed to Pyridine Sulfate it can cause a number of issues such as swelling, cracking, hardening, and discoloration. This can be caused by a combination of the chemical's corrosive properties and the potential for the rubber to absorb the sulfuric acid. This can cause the rubber to break down and weaken, leading to potential failure of the seal or part.
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.
