MIL0G07118 is a chemical commonly known as 2,2,4-Trimethyl-1,3-pentanediol monoisobutyrate (TMPIB). It is used as an additive in the automotive, food and beverage, and personal care industries. It is also used as a plasticizer in rubber and plastic manufacturing processes.
When rubber is exposed to MIL0G07118, it is at risk for swelling, hardening, and cracking. The plasticizer can also cause the rubber to become brittle and lose elasticity, making it more susceptible to cracking. Additionally, the rubber could become stained or discolored due to the chemical’s reaction with certain dyes. If left unchecked, this could result in the material losing its intended functionality.
