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

Butanol, also known as butyl alcohol, is a colorless liquid with a strong odor, represented by the chemical formula C4H10O. It is used as a solvent and intermediate in the synthesis of various chemicals and polymers. Butanol is highly flammable and can cause skin and respiratory irritation upon exposure. Proper handling, storage, and use of personal protective equipment (PPE) are essential to ensure safety.
