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

Alkyl alcohols, also known as aliphatic alcohols, are organic compounds containing a hydroxyl group (-OH) attached to a saturated carbon atom chain. Examples include methanol, ethanol, and propanol. These alcohols are widely used as solvents, fuel additives, and intermediates in the production of chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and personal care products. Alkyl alcohols can be flammable and toxic, with potential health risks such as skin and respiratory irritation. Proper handling, storage, and use of personal protective equipment (PPE) are necessary to ensure safety.
