Sulfanilic chloride, also known as 4-aminobenzenesulfonyl chloride, is an organic compound used as an intermediate in the dye industry, a reagent in organic synthesis, and a corrosion inhibitor. It is also used as an agricultural fertilizer and a disinfectant.
When rubber is exposed to sulfanilic chloride, it can cause the rubber to become brittle and break apart. Additionally, the chloride can corrode the metal components found in rubber seals, leading to further failures. Furthermore, sulfanilic chloride can cause rubber to swell and soften, leading to decreased flexibility and seal integrity. Additionally, sulfanilic chloride can cause the rubber to discolor or fade over time.
