VALERIC ACID Resistant O-Rings and Seals
Valeric acid, also known as Valeraldehyde, is a common organic compound found in food, pharmaceuticals, and perfumes. In the food industry, it is used as a preservative, flavor enhancer, and odorant. It is also used in the production of pharmaceuticals, providing antimicrobial and antifungal properties.
When rubber is exposed to Valeric acid, it can lead to accelerated deterioration of the material, which can lead to cracking, hardening, brittleness, and loss of elasticity. In addition, Valeric acid can cause rubber to swell, leading to extreme pressure within the rubber and eventual failure.
