UCON OIL LB0400X is a polyalkylene glycol lubricant, also known as PAG oil. It is used in a variety of industries including automotive, aerospace, electrical, electronics, and medical. Common uses include lubrication, cooling, and sealing.
When rubber materials are exposed to UCON OIL LB0400X, the rubber can become brittle, swell, soften, or crack. This can cause the rubber to lose its strength and may result in a failure of the seal. In some cases, the rubber may break down completely, leading to a complete seal failure. Additionally, the lubricant can cause the rubber to become tacky and stick to surfaces, leading to poor performance.
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.
