Potassium ferricyanide, also known as Prussian blue, is a widely used industrial chemical with applications in dyeing, printing, and electroplating. It is also used as a catalyst in organic synthesis, a fixative in histology and cytology, and as a reagent in analytical chemistry. Common types of failures when rubber is exposed to potassium ferricyanide can include cracking and discoloration of the rubber material. In certain cases, it can also cause the rubber to become brittle and degrade prematurely.
