I stumbled upon a property of MMO that caused concern for me. I use nitrile gloves when handling my fluids like oil, ATF, additives, etc. A few months back, I found a nitrile glove I had just left on the work bench instead of throwing away after handling MMO. The parts that had been in contact with MMO were very hard and brittle.
I'm not sure if "nitrile" gloves are the same type of "nitrile" as found in some oil filter ADBVs, but I thought I should check this out further for those interested on here.
I recently ran a simple "test" where I rubbed down a nitrile glove with MMO, another one with PP and one with nothing. I left them sitting on the work bench. After a couple weeks, the MMO glove had severely hardened to the point it felt like a hard brittle plastic. The other two gloves were still as you'd expect.
Would anyone else be able to some time and verify this result on their end?
I'm not overly concerned with this but I found this interesting. If someone could replicate my results, maybe it would be worth looking into MMO's compatibility with materials it would encounter within an engine.
Thanks for the help.
