DIISOPROPYL ETHER Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Diisopropyl ether, also known as isopropyl ether or DIPE, is a colorless, volatile liquid with a mild odor and the chemical formula C6H14O commonly used as a solvent and chemical intermediate. Although considered relatively low in acute toxicity, it can irritate the skin and respiratory system and is highly flammable. In fluid handling systems, O-rings, rubber seals, gaskets, and plastic components should be reviewed for compatibility, as ethers may cause swelling or softening in certain rubber materials. Proper handling and storage are essential.
