VANADIUM PENTOXIDE Resistant O-Rings and Seals
Vanadium pentoxide, also known as pentavalent vanadium, is an inorganic compound typically used in the production of specialty glass, inorganic pigments, and catalysts. It is also used in the production of vanadium steel, as a mordant in dyeing, and as an oxidizing agent in chemical synthesis.
When rubber is exposed to Vanadium pentoxide, it can cause oxidation of the rubber material, which can lead to cracking and embrittlement. In addition, Vanadium pentoxide can cause the rubber to swell and harden, reducing its elasticity and leading to eventual failure. Furthermore, Vanadium pentoxide can cause discoloration and corrosion of the rubber material.
