CARBOLIC ACID Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Carbolic acid, also known as phenol, hydroxybenzene, or C6H5OH, is a toxic aromatic compound supplied as a white crystalline solid or liquefied material. It is widely used as a disinfectant, chemical intermediate, and laboratory reagent. Due to its corrosive and penetrating nature, phenol can severely damage skin and respiratory tissue. When evaluating compatibility with O-rings, rubber seals, gaskets, and plastic materials, careful selection is required to prevent chemical attack, swelling, or embrittlement. Proper handling, storage, ventilation, and PPE are critical for safety and long-term rubber performance.
