TRIETHYL ALUMINIUM Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Triethyl aluminium is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with the chemical formula C6H15Al, used primarily as a catalyst and intermediate in the synthesis of various organic compounds. It is employed in various industrial and chemical applications, including the production of polyethylene, polypropylene, and other specialty chemicals. Triethyl aluminium is highly reactive and requires proper handling and storage to prevent accidents and ensure safety. It can pose health risks if inhaled or ingested and may cause severe skin and eye irritation. Safety measures, including the use of appropriate protective equipment and adherence to handling protocols, are crucial when working with triethyl aluminium. Its effectiveness as a catalyst and its unique properties make triethyl aluminium a valuable chemical in numerous industrial and chemical applications, contributing to the synthesis and production of a wide range of products and materials.
