TRIETHYLENETETRAMINE Resistant O-Rings and Seals
Triethylenetetramine, also known as TETA or tetraethylenepentamine, is an organic compound used as a curing agent for epoxy resins and rubber compounds. It is also used as an additive in lubricants, as a corrosion inhibitor, and as a preservative in cosmetics and food products.
When rubber is exposed to TETA, it can experience a loss of strength and elasticity, becoming brittle and prone to cracking and tearing. Additionally, TETA can cause rubber to become discolored and sticky due to the formation of a film-like layer on its surface. Over time, the rubber can harden due to the loss of plasticizer and become susceptible to cracking and tearing. The rubber can also become more susceptible to other chemical attack, such as oxidation and hydrolysis.
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.
