Dioctylamine, also known as dodecylamine and N-dodecane-1-amine, is a colorless, volatile liquid with an ammoniacal odor. It is a naturally occurring amine found in various plants and animals, and is also a commonly used commercial chemical. It is used in various industrial applications, including as a corrosion inhibitor, surfactant, emulsifier, and as a stabilizer in oil-based products.
When rubber is exposed to dioctylamine, it can cause a variety of failures. It can cause swelling of the rubber, softening of the rubber, and a decrease in mechanical strength. It can also lead to cracking, crazing, and discoloration of the material. Additionally, the rubber may become brittle and suffer from an accelerated rate of degradation.
