Safety rules for fluorocarbon rubber
Fluorocarbon rubber is a common material in seal
rings for shafts, and in O-rings, for example.
When fluorocarbon rubber is subjected to high tem-
peratures (above
), hydrofluoric acid
can be formed, which is highly corrosive. Skin con-
tact can give severe chemical burns. Splashes in
your eyes can give severe chemical burns. If you
breathe in the fumes, your lungs can be permanently
damaged.

WARNING! Be very careful when working on
engines which have been exposed to high tem-
peratures,
. overheating during a seizure or

ylene torch, or be burned up afterwards in an
uncontrolled manner.
Always use gloves made of

Handle the removed seal in the same way as
corrosive acid. All residue, including ash, can be
highly corrosive. Never use compressed air to
blow anything clean.
Put the remains in a plastic box which is sealed
and provided with a warning label. Wash the
gloves under running water before removing
•
them.
The following seals are probably made from fluoro-
carbon rubber:
Seal rings for the crankshaft, camshaft, intermediate
shafts.
O-rings irrespective of where they are installed.
O-rings for cylinder liner sealing are almost always
made from fluorocarbon rubber.
Note that seals which have not been subjected to
high temperature can be handled normally.
