DIMETHYL ANILINE, also known as DMA, is an organic compound used in a variety of applications including manufacturing dyes, pharmaceuticals, and agricultural chemicals. It is also used as a stabilizer in the production of polymers and latex foam.
When rubber is exposed to DMA, it can cause the rubber to become brittle and prone to cracking or breaking. The chemical's solvent properties can also cause rubber to swell, resulting in decreased strength and a loss of elasticity. Additionally, DMA can react with certain rubber materials, leading to a decrease in the material's tensile strength and a decrease in its ability to withstand wear and tear. Furthermore, DMA can cause rubber to discolor, leading to a decrease in its aesthetic value.
