MIL0G025013 is more commonly known as dioctyl adipate, or DOA. It is a clear, almost odorless liquid that is used as a plasticizer in a variety of products, including paint, adhesives, printing inks, and plastics. It is also used as a lubricant in metalworking processes.
When rubber is exposed to dioctyl adipate, common types of failures include cracking, swelling, and discoloration. This is due to the fact that DOA is a plasticizer, meaning it can penetrate rubber and reduce its hardness and elasticity. Additionally, DOA can interact with rubber additives and cause them to degrade, leading to further cracking and discoloration.
