Some agents such as mustard gas (blister agent) and VX (the most lethal nerve agent ever produced for weaponization) are also persistent, meaning they present severe, long-term contamination hazards. Because these can act topically, secondary contact...

The fifth grade, with the highest MW, is compression molded into oil field applications requiring resistance to high-pressure gas blistering." It is used for down-hole packers and seals in oil exploration and production. Oilfield equipment seals are exposed to short-term temperatures from 302 to 482°F (150 to 250°C) and pressures above 10,000 Ib/in (68.7 MPa) in the presence of aggressive hydrocarbons H2S, CH4, CO2, amine-containing corrosion inhibitors, and steam and water."...

The back pressure is intended to ensure that a sufficiently high level of homogeneity is attained by the melt during plasticising. This involves uniform temperature distribution, and the absence of air blisters or gas blisters. 

During storage or processing, moisture is absorbed by the granules, forming water vapour in the melt. Due to the velocity profile at the flow front, gas blisters are pushed to the surface of the melt as shown in Figure 9.7. Since they want to compensate the pressure, the blisters burst, are deformed by the moving flow front and freeze at the mould wall. 

Ethylene dibromide is a suspected human carcinogen and worker exposure by all routes should be carefiiUy controUed to levels as low as reasonably achievable (67). Ethylene dibromide causes severe blistering of the skin if contact is prolonged. Eye contact with the Hquid will cause pain, irritation, and temporary impairment of vision. Recommended safety equipment includes safety goggles, a NIOSH approved canister-type gas mask for organic vapors, neoprene gloves, and neoprene overshoes. In case of contact with ethylene dibromide, contaminated clothing and shoes should be removed and eyes or skin washed with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Contaminated clothes should be washed before reuse and contaminated shoes should be discarded.

Decarburization results from hydrogen absorption from gas streams at elevated temperatures. In addition to hydrogen blistering, hydrogen can remove carbon from alloys. The particular mechanism depends to a large extent on the properties of other gases present. Removal of carbon causes the metal to lose strength and fail.
