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

Benzoquinone is a yellow crystalline compound with the chemical formula C6H4O2. It is used as an oxidizing agent, in the manufacture of dyes, and as an intermediate in the synthesis of various organic compounds. Benzoquinone is toxic and can cause skin and respiratory irritation upon exposure. Proper handling, storage, and use of personal protective equipment (PPE) are essential to ensure safety.
