How to Evaluate Chemical Resistance and Fluid Compatibility of Materials

How to Evaluate Chemical Resistance and Fluid Compatibility of Materials

Matching the right elastomer to an application is key to ensuring an o-ring’s optimal performance and mitigating premature failure. One critical factor to consider is resistance to process fluids. Different types of elastomers have differing resistance to various fluids, making material selection crucial to seal design. If the seal material is incompatible with a particular […]
