ZINC SULFIDE Resistant O-Rings and Seals
Zinc Sulfide is also known as Zinc Sulphide and Zinc Bisulfide. It is a white powder commonly used in the rubber industry as an anti-oxidant, UV stabilizer and flame retardant. It is also used in the plastic and ceramic industries as a pigment, filler and reinforcement material.
Common failures when rubber is exposed to Zinc Sulfide are embrittlement, cracking and hardening of the rubber due to the zinc sulfide reacting with the rubber material. Additionally, it can cause discoloration of the rubber and lead to poor physical properties. The zinc sulfide can also cause the rubber to become tacky and sticky due to the reaction.
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.
