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

Isobutyraldehyde is a colorless, flammable liquid with a pungent odor, used in various industrial applications. It is primarily employed as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and other organic compounds. Isobutyraldehyde is also used in the production of synthetic resins and plastics and as a solvent in chemical reactions. Despite its utility, it poses significant health hazards, including respiratory, skin, and eye irritation. Proper handling, storage, and safety measures, including the use of personal protective equipment, are essential to ensure safe usage. Adequate ventilation and spill containment measures are also necessary to prevent exposure and accidents.
