Effect of Sorption-Inactive Fillers on the Oil and Petrol Resistance of Siloxane Rubbers

Oil resistance is an important indicator of the service reliability of rubbers used in sealing and packing articles, since swelling and washing out of ingredients, occurring on contact with oils, lubricants, and hydraulic liquids, reduces the life and durability of the materials. Furthermore, they a...

Summary:Oil resistance is an important indicator of the service reliability of rubbers used in sealing and packing articles, since swelling and washing out of ingredients, occurring on contact with oils, lubricants, and hydraulic liquids, reduces the life and durability of the materials. Furthermore, they are resistant to UV irradiation, ozone, corona and arc discharges, and chemical substances, do not cause the corrosion of materials, are good dielectrics, are biologically inert and water repellent, are water-vapor and gas permeable, and possess adhesion to practically all materials. Among other things Mikhailova et al explains that in terms of resistance to oils, petrol, diesel fuel, and an isooctane-toluene mixture, the developed rubber occupies an intermediate position between rubber compounds based on expensive fluorosiloxane rubber and rubber compounds based on SKTVshch rubber.
