RIBOFLAVIN Resistant O-Rings and Seals
Riboflavin, or Vitamin B2, is a water-soluble vitamin that is essential for human health. It is a yellow or orange crystalline powder that is found in a variety of foods and is also a common dietary supplement. Common sources of riboflavin include eggs, milk, cheese, and fortified breakfast cereals.
When rubber is exposed to riboflavin, it can cause discoloration, staining, and deterioration of the material. Exposure to riboflavin can lead to cracking and splitting of the rubber, as well as a decrease in strength and elasticity. Additionally, riboflavin can be corrosive and can cause the rubber to swell, soften, and become brittle. Therefore, it is important to keep rubber materials protected from riboflavin to prevent any damage or deterioration.
