BUTYL ALCOHOL (TERTIARY) Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Tertiary butyl alcohol, also known as tert-butanol, t-butanol, or 2-methyl-2-propanol, is a colorless, flammable liquid with the formula C4H10O. It is widely used as a solvent and as an intermediate in chemical and polymer manufacturing. Due to its solvent properties, compatibility with O-rings, rubber seals, gaskets, and certain plastic materials should be carefully evaluated to prevent swelling or degradation. Exposure may cause skin and respiratory irritation, so proper storage, ventilation, and appropriate PPE are essential for safe handling.
