Benzidine 3 sulfonic acid, also known as 1,3-diaminobenzene sulfonic acid, is a common industrial chemical used in various industries such as the textile, dye, and pharmaceutical industries. It is also used as a bleaching and acid-dyeing assistant in the paper industry.
When rubber is exposed to benzidine 3 sulfonic acid, it can cause a variety of failures. The most common type of failure is caused by the breakdown of the rubber material due to oxidation. This can cause the rubber to become brittle, crack, and ultimately fail. Additionally, benzidine 3 sulfonic acid can cause swelling and softening of the rubber material, leading to degradation of the mechanical properties of the rubber.
