METHYL ETHER Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Methyl ether, also known as dimethyl ether (DME), is a colorless, flammable gas with the chemical formula C₂H₆O, used in various industrial and chemical applications. It is primarily employed as a propellant in aerosol products, as a refrigerant, and as a fuel alternative to liquefied petroleum gas (LPG). Methyl ether is also used as a solvent and chemical intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Despite its utility, methyl ether poses significant safety hazards due to its flammability and potential for explosive mixtures with air. Proper handling, storage, and stringent safety measures, including the use of personal protective equipment and adequate ventilation, are essential to minimize risks and ensure safe usage.
