BUTYL ALCOHOL (SECONDARY) Chemical Compatibility

Secondary butyl alcohol, also known as sec-butanol or 2-butanol, is a colorless, flammable liquid with the chemical formula C4H10O that is widely used as a solvent and chemical intermediate in polymer and coating production. Because it can cause skin and respiratory irritation, proper storage and handling are important. When assessing compatibility, O-rings, rubber seals, gaskets, and plastic components should be carefully evaluated, as secondary butyl alcohol may lead to swelling, softening, or degradation in certain rubber materials.
