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

Lacquers are clear or colored coatings applied to surfaces to provide a durable, glossy finish. They are commonly used on wood, metal, and plastic substrates in furniture, automotive, and industrial applications. Lacquers typically consist of resins dissolved in solvents, which evaporate to leave a hard, protective film. Despite their aesthetic and protective benefits, lacquers can be hazardous. The solvents used in lacquers are often volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that pose health risks, including respiratory and skin irritation. Lacquers are also flammable. Proper handling, storage, and safety measures, including the use of personal protective equipment and adequate ventilation, are essential to ensure safe usage.
