Nickel Acetate, also known as Nickel diacetate, is a chemical compound commonly used as a reducing agent in electroplating, as a catalyst in the production of rubber, and as a preservative in food production.
When exposed to Nickel Acetate, rubber materials can experience swelling, cracking, and softening due to chemical attack. Additionally, the compound can react with additives and antioxidants in the rubber, leading to further material degradation. In order to prevent damage, it is important to regularly inspect rubber materials that come into contact with Nickel Acetate. If signs of wear and tear are found, the rubber should be replaced to prevent further damage.
