ZINC HYDROSULFITE Resistant O-Rings and Seals
Zinc Hydrosulfite is also known as Zinc Bisulfite, Zinc Sulphite, and Zinc Sulphate Monohydrate. It is commonly used as a preservative in a range of food and beverage products, and it is also used as a dye fixing agent in the textile industry.
When rubber is exposed to zinc hydrosulfite, it can cause a range of failures, including discolouration, swelling, cracking, and embrittlement. The rubber may become brittle and more prone to breaking down than usual. Additionally, zinc hydrosulfite can cause rubber to become tacky, which can lead to reduced performance and premature failure. Exposure to zinc hydrosulfite can also cause the rubber to become less elastic, making it more difficult to stretch and work with.
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.
