SPRY Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Spry is a brand of shortening made from partially hydrogenated vegetable oil. It was introduced in the 1930s as an alternative to lard and butter for baking and cooking, offering a stable, shelf-friendly product with a high smoke point and a neutral flavor. Spry was marketed for its versatility in making pastries, cakes, and other baked goods tender and flaky. The hydrogenation process makes the oil solid at room temperature, contributing to its long shelf life and stability. However, due to health concerns related to trans fats found in partially hydrogenated oils, the popularity of Spry and similar products has declined. Modern formulations may have reduced or eliminated trans fats to address these concerns. Proper storage of Spry is essential to maintain its quality, keeping it in a cool, dry place to prevent rancidity. Despite its historical significance, health trends favoring natural and minimally processed fats have led to a decrease in its use.
