CHLORO 1-NITRO ETHANE Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Chloro 1-nitro ethane, more commonly referred to as 1-chloro-1-nitroethane or nitrochloroethane, is an organic intermediate used in specialty chemical synthesis and industrial processing. This halogenated nitro compound may present irritation risks to the skin and respiratory system upon exposure. In chemical compatibility evaluations, 1-chloro-1-nitroethane should be carefully assessed for use with rubber O-rings and gaskets, as chlorinated organic compounds can cause swelling, softening, or degradation in certain rubber materials. Proper storage in sealed containers, adequate ventilation, appropriate PPE, and thorough compatibility testing are important to ensure safe handling and reliable long-term performance of O-rings, rubber seals, and gaskets.
