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

Dimethylamine, also known as DMA, is a colorless gas with a characteristic fishy odor and the chemical formula C2H7N that is widely used as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and other specialty chemicals. Although considered relatively low in acute toxicity, it can irritate the skin, eyes, and respiratory system. In processing equipment, O-rings, rubber seals, gaskets, and plastic components should be evaluated for chemical compatibility, as amines may affect certain rubber materials. Proper handling, storage, and protective measures are essential.
