Can formaldehyde dissolve oil-resistant rubber?

2009-03-05View Original

Thread Content

The diaphragm in the outlet buffer of the company’s formaldehyde metering pump has always been made of tetrafluoroethylene, which tends to wear out frequently. We are considering switching to oil-resistant rubber, but we’re not sure whether it will be dissolved by formaldehyde Please advise, experts

As a supplementary question, does formaldehyde dissolve polyurethane rubber and fluororubber?

You can definitely verify it yourself through experimental methods by observing whether the specimen swells, changes color, its surface hardens, develops cracks, or experiences weight loss, in order to determine its suitability.

Just do an experiment yourself – many things mentioned on the Internet or in various sources are not applicable. Really, I’m not lying to you. Because there is conditional differentiation.

No, you can use it with confidence.
