ZINC PHENOLSULFONATE Resistant O-Rings and Seals
Zinc Phenolsulfonate is a chemical compound which is also known by the name of zinc sulfonated phenol and ZPS. It is a white powder which is soluble in water and is used as a corrosion inhibitor in various industrial processes. Common uses for zinc phenolsulfonate include its application in metalworking fluids, lubricants and coolants, and as an additive in paint and coatings.
When rubber is exposed to zinc phenolsulfonate, it can cause the rubber to harden, weaken and crack due to the formation of zinc-oxygen complexes. The rubber can also become brittle, lose its elasticity, and become susceptible to tearing. Additionally, the chemical can cause discoloration of the rubber and can lead to a decrease in strength and durability.
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.
