Sodium ferrocyanide is also known as yellow prussiate of soda and is a yellow crystalline powder. It is commonly used as a food additive, dyeing agent, and corrosion inhibitor. In the food industry, it is used as an antioxidant, preservative, and flavor enhancer.
When exposed to sodium ferrocyanide, rubber can experience swelling and softening, leading to reduced tensile strength, fatigue, and cracking. Additionally, the corrosion inhibitor properties of the chemical can lead to accelerated wear and tear of the rubber material. The dyeing agent properties of the chemical can also cause discoloration of the rubber material. Additionally, the rubber can become brittle and more prone to cracking.
