VANADIUM OXIDE Resistant O-Rings and Seals
Vanadium oxide, also known as vanadium dioxide, is a common inorganic compound found in coatings, pigments, and catalysts. It is used to create thermochromic and photochromic coatings, as well as to make pigments for paints and coatings. It is also used as a catalyst for many industrial processes, such as petroleum refining, manufacturing of sulfuric acid, and the production of methanol.
When rubber is exposed to Vanadium oxide, it can lead to oxidation of the rubber material, which can cause embrittlement and cracking. In addition, Vanadium oxide can cause the rubber to swell and harden, reducing its elasticity and leading to eventual failure.
