SODIUM TETRABORATE Resistant O-Rings and Seals
Sodium tetraborate is also known as borax, and is a water-soluble mineral with a wide range of industrial uses. Borax is used in various applications including glass, ceramic, and enamel production, soap and detergent manufacturing, flame retardants, and many more. When rubber products are exposed to borax, the rubber may become brittle and cracked. This is due to the salt content of borax, which can cause the rubber to dry out and become hard. Additionally, the alkalinity of borax can cause the rubber to swell, which can lead to cracks or other failures.
Fluorosilicone (FVMQ, FSIL)
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.
