TY - CONF A1 - Weltschev, Margit A1 - Haufe, Manuela A1 - Heyer, Martina T1 - Compatibility evaluations of sealing materials with aged biofuels N2 - The objective of this research was to determine the resistance of frequently used sealing materials such as EPDM, FKM, FVMQ, CR, CSM, IIR, NBR, PA, PUR and VMQ in aged biodiesel and heating oil B10 with 10 % biodiesel. The mass, tensile strength, breaking elongation and Shore hardnesses of the test specimens were determined before and after exposure in non-aged, one-year, two-year, three-year and four-year aged biodiesel and B10 at 20 °C, 40 °C and 70 °C. 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. The decrease in tensile properties and Shore hardness increased with the age and the temperature of the biodiesel and the heating oil. 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 and B10. FKM and PA showed high compatibility in non-aged and aged biodiesel. 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 of the age of B10.
