I'm no chemist, but Pinesol may cause damage to the rubber long term. It's name
says it all, it uses some of the solvent qualities of pine tar/turpentine as
part of its charms-and I keep Hydrocarbon chemical solvents away from my tires.
KY sounds brilliant-water soluble, so it dries out, and if you've ever had any
left dry somewhere, you know it acts as a glue-nurses glue small bits on their
uniform hats (knowing it will come back off if re-wetted).
WIKI quote:
As of 2008, the currently available original formulation lists 8-10% pine oil,
alkyl alcohol ethoxylates, sodium petroleum sulfonate and isopropanol as
reportable ingredients on the material safety data sheet

Any chemist here who can tell if this would degrade rubber?

further Wiki reading makes me wonder about K-Ys use too, what with the alcohol
derivatives in it...although since it is meant in most cases now to conact the
most sensitive blood enriched areas of the body, it can't be too bad for
rubber-or can it?
K-Y NG uses glycerin and hydroxyethyl cellulose as the lubricant, with
chlorhexidine gluconate, glucono delta-lactone, methylparaben and sodium
hydroxide as antiseptic and preservative additives. The liquid form of the
product combines glycerin with propylene glycol, sorbitol, and Natrosol 250H (a
brand of hydroxyethyl cellulose) for lubrication, with benzoic acid,
methylparaben and sodium hydroxide as additives. An alternative glycerin-free
formulation marketed as "K-Y Ultra" contains propylene glycol, sorbitol,
Natrosol 250H and polysorbate 60 for lubrication, benzoic acid and methylparaben
as preservatives, and vitamin E.
