Are the connectors resistant to Hydraulic Fluids and Oils?

Yes. Neoprene has good general resistance to oils and greases. However, for environments with continuous exposure to aggressive hydraulic fluids (like Skydrol) or drilling muds, we recommend specifying Polyurethane (PUR) or Viton connector bodies, as these materials offer superior chemical resistance.

Subsea environments are often contaminated with hydrocarbons.

Neoprene: Good for seawater and incidental oil contact.
Polyurethane: Excellent resistance to oil-based fluids and abrasion.
Compatibility Check: If you are using specific dielectric fluids (e.g., in a pressure-compensated oil-filled box), please consult our engineering team to ensure the connector O-rings and potting compounds are chemically compatible with your oil.
