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

Hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH) is a chlorinated hydrocarbon with the formula C6H6Cl6. It exists in several isomeric forms, with gamma-HCH (lindane) being the most notable. HCH is primarily used as an insecticide for agricultural and public health applications. It is a persistent organic pollutant, known for its ability to bioaccumulate in the environment and in living organisms. Exposure to HCH can be harmful, causing neurological effects, liver and kidney damage, and potential carcinogenicity. Its use has been restricted or banned in many countries due to its environmental and health impacts. Proper handling, storage, and disposal are critical to minimize exposure and environmental contamination. HCH's persistent nature and toxicity have led to significant regulatory measures aimed at protecting human health and the environment.
