TY - CONF A1 - Weltschev, Margit T1 - Change in properties of sealing materials in biofuels, biodiesel-heating oil blends, diesel and premium grade fuel at different temperatures N2 - The objective of this research was to determine the resistance of frequently used sealing materials such as FKM, FVMQ, VMQ, EPDM, CR, CSM, IIR, PA, NBR and PUR in fuels and heating oil with and without admixtures of biogenic sources such as E10, diesel fuel with 5 % biodiesel, non-aged and 2 year aged B10 (heating oil with 10 % biodiesel), pure diesel, standard heating oil and premium grade fuel Super plus at 20 °C, 40 °C and 70 °C. Mass, tensile strength and breaking elongation of the test specimens were determined before and after the exposure for 84 days in the fuels. The visual examination of some elastomer test specimens clearly showed the great volume increase until break or partial dissolution. Shore hardness A and D (for PA) were determined before and after exposure of the test specimens in the biofuels for 42 days. There is not determined a threshold for the reduction in tensile properties and Shore hardness in the international standards. Therefore a threshold of 15 % was determined for the evaluation of the compatibility. In summary, it can be therefore stated that the chemical resistance of the fluoropolymers FKM and FVMQ in fuels and biofuels is the best one.

The question arises of whether sealing materials are resistant to fuels with bioethanol and biodiesel (rapeseed oil fatty acid methyl ester). The objective of this research was to determine the resistance of frequently used sealing materials such as FKM (fluorocarbon rubber), FVMQ (methyl-fluoro-silicone rubber), VMQ (methyl-vinyl-silicone rubber), EPDM (ethylene-propylene-diene rubber), CR (chloroprene rubber), CSM (chlorosulfonated polyethylene), IIR (butyl rubber), PA (polyamides), NBR (acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber) and PUR (polyester urethane rubber) in aged fuels and heating oil with admixtures of biogenic substances such as biodiesel and B10 (heating oil with 10% biodiesel). The mass, tensile strength and breaking elongation of the test specimens were determined before and after exposure for 84 days in non-aged, one-year, two-year, three-year and four-year aged biodiesel and B10 according to DIN 53504 – “Testing of rubber - determination of tensile strength at break, tensile stress at yield, elongation at break and stress values in a tensile test”. The visual examination of some elastomer test specimens clearly showed the great volume increase until breaking or partial dissolution. The Shore hardnesses A and D (for PA) were determined before and after exposure of the test specimens in the biofuels for 42 days according to DIN 53505 – “Testing of rubber – Shore A and Shore D hardness test”. A threshold for the reduction in tensile properties and Shore hardness is not set in the international standards. Therefore, a threshold of 15 % was set for the evaluation of the compatibility. Biodiesel fuels are easily oxidized and contain acids and water. The age of the biodiesel was not relevant for the sealing materials CR, CSM, EPDM, IIR and NBR, which were generally not resistant to biodiesel. FKM and PA showed high compatibility in non-aged, one-year, two-year, three-year and four- year aged biodiesel, which was attributed to the absence of polarity. The decrease in tensile properties and Shore hardness increased with the age and the temperature of the biodiesel, but the measured values were still lower than the defined threshold. FKM and FVMQ absorbed much less non-aged and aged B10 and swelled less. CR, CSM, EPDM, IIR, NBR and VMQ were not resistant to B10 at all at 20°C, 40°C and 70°C as the decrease in the tensile properties was significantly over 50%. FVMQ and PA could be evaluated as resistant in non-aged and aged B10 at 20°C and 40°C, whereas FKM was resistant up to 70°C despite the age of the B10. The damaging impact of B10 increased with the age and the temperature.

The aim of this work was to study the interaction between high density polyethylene (HDPE) with permeation barriers in form of polyamide (PA) and fluorination, and biofuels such as E85 (fuel with 85 % ethanol), biodiesel and B10 (heating oil with 10 % biodiesel). 10 l jerrycans made of polyethylene with permeation barrier of PA were filled with E85 and biodiesel and exposed to temperatures of 20 °C and 40 °C for 5 years. Half of the 20 l jerrycans of HDPE for filling with B10 were fluorinated at the inner layer to prevent permeation before the exposure. Tensile properties were determined once a year, and FTIR-spectroscopy was used to evaluate possible changes. The tensile properties tensile strength and breaking elongation of HDPE jerrycan cuttings with permeation barrier decreased, but not significantly, after immersion in E85, biodiesel and B10. The elasticity modulus of the polyethylene grades was especially reduced during exposure to E85. The FTIR spectra of HDPE jerrycan cuttings with permeation barrier showed that immersion tests for five years with the test fuels at 20 °C and 40 °C did not lead to a decomposition of the permeation barriers.

Mass, tensile properties and Shore hardness A/D (for polyamide) of the test speci-mens were determined before and after the exposure for 84/42 days in the aged and non-aged fuels of different age. Biodiesel fuels are easily oxidized and contain acids and water. The sealing materi-als: acrylonitrile butadiene rubber, butyl rubber, chloroprene rubber, chlorosulfonated polyethylene and ethylene-propylene-diene rubber and were generally not resistant to biodiesel and heating oil with 10 % biodiesel. Fluorocarbon rubber, fluorosilicone rubber and polyamide were the most resistant materials in all tested fuels up to 70 °C. The degree of damage to the sealing materials increased with higher test temperatures and the age of the fuels.
