XYLIDENES0MIXED0AROMATIC AMINES, also known as Xamamines, are a type of amine compound used in various industrial applications. Common uses include plasticizers, fuel additives, paint additives, and corrosion inhibitors. Xamamines are also used in the production of rubber, as they act as a crosslinking agent to help improve the rubber's durability and resistance to environmental conditions.
When rubber is exposed to Xamamines, it can lead to a number of different types of failures. These include cracking and premature aging of the rubber, as well as discoloration and loss of elasticity. Additionally, Xamamines can cause the rubber to become brittle and more prone to tearing or cracking. To prevent these issues, it is important to use rubber compounds that are compatible with Xamamines and to test the rubber for compatibility prior to use.
