ACETOPHENETIDINE Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Acetophenetidine, also known as phenacetin, is an organic compound with the chemical formula C10H13NO2. It is a white, crystalline solid used primarily as an analgesic and antipyretic. Acetophenetidine was widely used in the past for pain relief and fever reduction but has been largely phased out due to its potential to cause nephropathy and methemoglobinemia. In addition to its medical applications, acetophenetidine is used in the synthesis of dyes and other organic compounds. Handling acetophenetidine requires caution, as prolonged exposure can lead to adverse health effects. Proper personal protective equipment (PPE) and adherence to safety guidelines are essential to prevent exposure. It should be stored in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances. Always refer to the material safety data sheet (MSDS) for detailed safety and handling instructions.
