TRICHLORONITROMETHANE Resistant O-Rings and Seals
Trichloronitromethane, also known as trichloronitromethane or trichloromethyl nitrate, is a colorless and odorless liquid used mainly as an intermediate in the production of other chemicals. It is also used in the production of dyes, explosives, and other industrial chemicals.
When exposed to trichloronitromethane, rubber may become brittle and prone to cracking. This can lead to a decrease in performance and strength of rubber seals and result in failure. Additionally, prolonged exposure to trichloronitromethane can cause the rubber to become discolored and swell, making it more difficult to seal surfaces and further increasing the risk of failure.
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.
