Sulfuryl Chloride, also known as Carbonyl Chloride, Chlorosulfonic Acid, and Chlorosulfuric Acid, is a colorless liquid with a pungent odor. It is used in a variety of industries, including chemical manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, agriculture, and water treatment.
When rubber is exposed to Sulfuryl Chloride, the rubber material can suffer from swelling, cracking, crazing, and embrittlement. This occurs due to the corrosive and acidic nature of the chemical, which can weaken the physical properties of the rubber. Additionally, prolonged exposure to high temperatures can cause a rapid degradation of the rubber material.
