URANIUM HEXACHLORIDE Resistant O-Rings and Seals
Uranium hexachloride, also known as UCl6, is a chemical compound used in the manufacturing of uranium fuels for nuclear reactors. It is also used as a catalyst in certain chemical reactions as well as in some industrial processes.
When exposed to uranium hexachloride, rubber materials can become weakened and eventually crack due to the corrosive nature of the chemical. This can lead to leaks and other failures in the rubber materials. Furthermore, rubber materials that are exposed to UCl6 for an extended period of time can experience accelerated aging, such as hardening, cracking, and swelling.
