BUTANOL Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Butanol, also called butyl alcohol, n-butanol, 1-butanol, or C4H10O, is a flammable alcohol solvent widely used in coatings, resins, plasticizers, and chemical synthesis. This colorless liquid with a strong odor can cause skin and respiratory irritation upon exposure. When assessing compatibility with O-rings, rubber seals, gaskets, and plastic components, careful review of alcohol resistance is necessary to prevent swelling or softening. Proper storage, ventilation, and PPE use are essential to protect personnel and maintain long-term rubber sealing performance.
