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

Hexachlorobutadiene (HCBD) is a chlorinated hydrocarbon with the molecular formula C4Cl6. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a mild, sweet odor. HCBD is primarily used as an intermediate in the manufacture of rubber and as a solvent for other chlorine-containing compounds. It can also be found in some industrial processes and as a byproduct of the production of certain chemicals. HCBD is toxic and poses significant health risks upon exposure, including potential carcinogenic effects. It can cause skin and eye irritation, respiratory issues, and liver and kidney damage. Proper handling and storage are crucial to minimize exposure risks. HCBD is also environmentally persistent, with potential to bioaccumulate, leading to long-term ecological impacts. Its use and disposal are regulated to prevent environmental contamination.
