CHLOROBROMO METHANE Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Chlorobromo methane, also known as bromochloromethane or CH2BrCl, is a halogenated organic liquid used as a chemical intermediate and specialty solvent in certain industrial applications. This chlorinated and brominated methane derivative may cause skin and respiratory irritation with sufficient exposure. In chemical compatibility evaluations, bromochloromethane should be carefully reviewed for rubber O-rings and gaskets, as halogenated solvents can contribute to swelling, softening, or degradation in some rubber materials. Proper storage in tightly sealed containers, adequate ventilation, appropriate PPE, and material compatibility testing are important to ensure safe handling and dependable performance of O-rings, rubber seals, and gaskets.
