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

Chlorethanol, also known as 2-chloroethanol, is a colorless liquid with a mild, ether-like odor, represented by the chemical formula C2H5ClO. It is used as an intermediate in the synthesis of various chemicals, including pharmaceuticals and pesticides. Chlorethanol is highly toxic and can cause severe skin and respiratory irritation upon exposure. Proper handling, storage, and the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) are essential to ensure safety.
