THIODIACETIC ACID Resistant O-Rings and Seals
Thiodiacetic acid, also known as thiodiglycolic acid, is a colorless, slightly viscous liquid with a sour odor. It is commonly used in the production of photographic chemicals, as an electrolyte in batteries, and as a reagent in the production of pharmaceuticals.
When rubber is exposed to thiodiacetic acid, common types of failures can include swelling, softening, and cracking. Thiodiacetic acid is known to attack the rubber's surface, leading to degradation of its physical properties. This can result in a loss of elasticity, strength, and the ability to resist high temperatures. Additionally, the rubber may become brittle and develop a tacky surface. Care should be taken to avoid prolonged contact between thiodiacetic acid and rubber components.
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.
