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

Benzotrichloride is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pungent odor, represented by the chemical formula C7H5Cl3. It is used as an intermediate in the synthesis of dyes, pharmaceuticals, and other organic compounds. Benzotrichloride is highly corrosive and toxic, posing significant health risks upon exposure. Proper handling, storage, and use of personal protective equipment (PPE) are essential to ensure safety.
