About this deal
Now, safety. As mentioned, they are Nasty!!! The Rubber Renue smells horrid and the R2 Rubber Rejuvenator smells almost like licorice, which I find both pleasant and very unsettling at the same time. Needless to say, both are very bad for you. The time I worked at the Lab I was also safety rep and used to always say "If you can smell it, it's already in your bloodstream (Odourless solvents excluded of course). Siddique, R.; Naik, T.R.

[ Google Scholar] [ CrossRef] The main difference between the two solutions above is the main solvent they use. Rubber Renue uses Hexane and the R2 Rubber Rejuvenator uses Xylene. I used to work as a bench chemist, and have used both of these solvents. Both solvents are very aggressive at disolving organics. If you left a pinch roller in a beaker of either solution, It would eventually disolve it! That said, it's important to not over do it. Though both are very volitile, when I'm done using either solution I go over the roller a few times with IPA to stop the disolving action of the rubber renue solution.
