Chemical Resistance
4.3 Terminal to Panel Gasket
The gasket is made of flame retardant silicone rubber. The sealing capability is
unaffected by the following chemicals:
Acetic acid 10% Nitric acid 1.5%
Ammonia 10% Phosphoric acid 4%
Citric acid 10% Sea water
Distilled water Sodium chloride 2%
Edible oil Sodium chloride 20%
Hydrogen peroxide 3% Sodium hydroxide 30%
Isopropyl alcohol Tap water
The flame retardant silicone rubber shows limited resistance to the following
chemicals at room temperature:
Acetic acid, conc. Na-hypochlorite 10%
Ammonia 30% Nitric acid 10%
Butanol Phosphoric acid 10%
Ethyl acetate Phosphoric acid 20%
Hydrochloric acid 37%, cold -
Note:
If exposure to any of the above chemicals is demanded, it is recommended to first test
the chemical in a hidden spot of the gasket.
The flame retardant silicone rubber shows little or no resistance to the following
chemicals at room temperature:
Acetone Methyl-ethyl ketone Trichlorethylene
Ammonia, conc. Nitric acid 30% Turpentine
Diesel Phenol Unleaded petrol
Fuel oil Sulphuric acid 20% Xylene
Leaded petrol Toluene -
