TRICHLOROFLUOROMETHANE Resistant O-Rings and Seals
Trichloroethylene, also known as TCE or ethylene trichloride, is an industrial solvent commonly used in degreasing applications, paint stripping, and dry cleaning. It is also used in the manufacturing of other chemicals and consumer products such as adhesives, paint, and varnishes.
When rubber is exposed to trichloroethylene, it can cause swelling, cracking, and embrittlement. This could lead to a decrease in strength and performance of the rubber, and ultimately, a failure of the rubber seal. In addition, prolonged exposure to trichloroethylene can cause the rubber to become discolored and brittle.
