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

Methylal, also known as dimethoxymethane, is a colorless, volatile liquid with the chemical formula C₃H₈O₂, used in various industrial and chemical applications. It is primarily employed as a solvent in the production of coatings, adhesives, and inks, and as a chemical intermediate in organic synthesis. Methylal is also used as a blowing agent in the manufacture of foams and as a fuel additive to improve combustion efficiency. Despite its utility, methylal is highly flammable and poses significant health risks if inhaled, ingested, or absorbed through the skin. 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.
