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

Alkyl benzenes are a class of organic compounds that consist of a benzene ring with one or more alkyl groups attached. These compounds are used as intermediates in the production of detergents, lubricants, and various chemicals. Alkyl benzenes are also found in fuels and solvents. They are relatively stable but can be flammable and pose health risks such as skin and respiratory irritation. Proper handling, storage, and use of personal protective equipment (PPE) are necessary to ensure safety when working with alkyl benzenes.
