T0BUTYL MERCAPTAN Resistant O-Rings and Seals
T0Butyl Mercaptan is also known as 2-Methylthiobutane, Thiobutane and Butyl Mercaptan. It is commonly used in the oil industry as a gas additive to detect gas leaks, and it is also used in production of rubber and plastic products, as a solvent, and as a biocide in antifouling paints and wood preservatives.
Rubber materials exposed to T0Butyl Mercaptan can experience physical and chemical changes to their properties, such as swelling, embrittlement, cracking, and changes in the physical properties of the rubber. Depending on the type of rubber, some materials may be more resistant than others, but all rubber types can be affected. In addition, long-term exposure to the chemical can lead to an accelerated rate of degradation, with possible effects including cracking, hardening, discoloration, and eventual failure of the material.
