It is also a common ingredient in skin care products, cosmetics, and hair care products.
When rubber is exposed to Peanut Oil, the rubber may become brittle and cause failure. This is due to the fact that Peanut Oil can break down the rubber’s chemical bonds which can lead to cracks and other failures. The rubber may also become discolored and its strength may be reduced. It is important to ensure that proper protective measures are taken when using rubber in areas where Peanut Oil is present.
