VALERALDEHYDE Resistant O-Rings and Seals
Valeraldehyde, also known as n-valeraldehyde, is a colorless liquid with a strong, pungent odor. It is highly volatile and is used as a flavoring agent and fragrance in various food, beauty, and pharmaceutical products. It is also used as an intermediate in the production of other chemicals, including pharmaceuticals.
When rubber is exposed to valeraldehyde, the volatile nature of the chemical can cause the rubber to become brittle and crack. The chemical can also interact with the rubber's plasticizers, causing them to leech out and leaving the rubber weak and prone to tearing. The chemical can also cause rubber to swell, leading to cracking and eventual 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.
