Sodium diacetate, also known as sodium acetate, is a salt composed of acetic acid and sodium acetate. Common uses for sodium diacetate include food preservation and flavor enhancement, as well as a pH buffer in many industrial applications. Common types of failure when rubber is exposed to sodium diacetate include accelerated aging, hardening, cracking, and loss of flexibility. The chemical can also cause the rubber to become brittle, and cause discoloration and a decrease in strength. Additionally, sodium diacetate can cause corrosion of rubber, leading to further degradation of the material.
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.
