MIL-H-019457 is also known as Methylene Chloride. It is commonly used as a solvent in the production of paints and coatings, as well as in the manufacturing of certain plastics and rubber.
When rubber is exposed to methylene chloride, it can become brittle and crack due to the chemical's corrosive properties. It can also cause the rubber to become discolored and lose its adhesive properties. Furthermore, methylene chloride can cause the rubber to become brittle over time, resulting in cracks and loss of flexibility and strength.
