Sodium Plumbite, also known as sodium lead bismuthate, is a chemical used in lead plating and storage batteries. Common industries where this chemical is used include automotive, aerospace, and electronics.
When rubber is exposed to sodium plumbite, it can become discolored and brittle. The rubber may become susceptible to cracking and tearing, resulting in a loss of strength and elasticity. Additionally, the rubber may become more vulnerable to abrasion and other forms of wear and tear due to its weakened state. In extreme cases, the rubber may even become discolored or warped.
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.
