Toluidine, also known as 2-Methyl-aniline, is an aromatic amine used primarily in the manufacture of dyes, pharmaceuticals and rubber chemicals. It is also used as an intermediate in the production of polyurethanes, plastics, and resins.
When exposed to toluidine, rubber materials can become brittle and crack. This is due to toluidine's ability to penetrate the rubber, causing it to lose its flexibility and elasticity. In addition, toluidine can cause the rubber to swell, resulting in leaks and seal failure. Prolonged exposure to the compound can also result in discoloration of rubber components and seals.
