CHLORINATED SOLVENTS Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Chlorinated solvents, also known as chlorohydrocarbons or organochlorine solvents, include compounds such as trichloroethylene TCE, perchloroethylene PCE, methylene chloride, and chloroform. These chlorine-containing organic chemicals are widely used for degreasing, metal cleaning, dry cleaning, and chemical synthesis. Exposure can lead to skin and respiratory irritation. When selecting O-rings, rubber seals, gaskets, and plastic materials, chemical resistance to chlorinated solvents must be carefully evaluated to prevent swelling, cracking, or embrittlement. Proper storage, ventilation, and PPE are essential for safe handling and reliable rubber performance.
