VEGETABLE OILS Resistant O-Rings and Seals
Vegetable oils, also known as triglycerides, are a type of fat obtained from plants. Common uses for vegetable oils include cooking, baking, and as a base for cosmetics.
When exposed to vegetable oils, rubber can become brittle due to the high levels of saturated fat. The vegetable oil can also cause swelling, reducing elasticity and leading to eventual failure. Additionally, vegetable oils can cause discoloration and corrosion of the rubber material as well as an increase in the material's permeability.
