TETRAHYDROTHIOPHEN Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics
Tetrahydrothiophene (THT), also known as thiophane, is a colorless liquid with the chemical formula C4H8S, used primarily as an odorant for natural gas and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) to provide a detectable warning in case of leaks. It is also employed as a solvent and intermediate in the synthesis of certain chemicals and pharmaceuticals. Proper handling and storage of THT are essential to prevent accidents and ensure safety, as it is flammable and can pose health risks if inhaled or ingested. Safety measures, including the use of appropriate protective equipment and adherence to handling protocols, are crucial when working with THT. Its effectiveness as an odorant and its unique properties make tetrahydrothiophene a valuable chemical in the natural gas industry and other applications requiring leak detection and safety measures.
