MIL0L09236 is also known as methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK). It is a colorless, volatile organic compound that is widely used as a solvent in a variety of industrial applications such as coatings, cleaners, and adhesives. It is also used to extract flavors and fragrances from natural sources.
When rubber is exposed to MIL0L09236, it can cause swelling, hardening, cracking, and other physical changes to the rubber material. The rubber may become brittle and prone to cracking, which can cause seals to fail and lead to leakage. In addition, prolonged exposure to MIBK can cause rubber to become sticky or tacky, which can lead to the rubber sticking to other components and causing problems with the performance of the seal.
