Bornyl Chloride, also known as Bornane Chloride, is a widely used chlorinated terpene found in a variety of products. It is used primarily in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries due to its antiseptic and disinfectant properties. It is also used as a flavoring agent, preservative, and in the manufacture of polymers.
When rubber is exposed to Bornyl Chloride, several types of failures can occur. The rubber can be weakened and become brittle, leading to cracks and splits. The rubber can also discolor, swell, and soften, resulting in a loss of tightness and seal integrity. Bornyl Chloride can also cause a decrease in the rubber's physical properties, such as hardness, elasticity, and permeability. Additionally, Bornyl Chloride can react with the rubber to form chemical compounds, which can further damage the rubber.
