OCTYL ALCOHOL Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Octyl alcohol, also known as 1-octanol, is a fatty alcohol with the chemical formula C8H18O. It is a colorless, oily liquid with a characteristic odor, used in the production of plasticizers, surfactants, and lubricants. Octyl alcohol is also employed as a solvent and an intermediate in organic synthesis. It is naturally present in certain essential oils and can be synthesized through the hydrogenation of octanoic acid. Octyl alcohol is relatively non-toxic but can cause irritation to the skin and eyes upon contact. It is a versatile compound with applications in various industrial sectors.
