UCON Lubricant 500HB0660 is also known as 2-ethyl-2-methylpentane and is a solvent-based lubricant used in a variety of industries. It is commonly used as a fuel additive, a rust preventative, a mold release agent, and an emulsifier.
When rubber is exposed to UCON Lubricant 500HB0660, it can cause swelling, softening, and cracking of the rubber material. It can also reduce the tensile strength and tear strength of the rubber, leading to premature failure. In some cases, UCON Lubricant 500HB0660 can leach out of the rubber and cause contamination of surrounding materials. It can also cause surface staining and discoloration of the rubber material.
