DICHLOROBENZENE OR O-DICHLOROBENZENE Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Dichlorobenzene, including o-dichlorobenzene, ortho-dichlorobenzene, or 1,2-dichlorobenzene with the formula C6H4Cl2, is a colorless to pale yellow aromatic liquid used as a solvent and chemical intermediate. Due to its aggressive solvent nature, compatibility with O-rings, rubber seals, gaskets, and plastic components should be carefully evaluated to reduce the risk of swelling or material breakdown. Dichlorobenzene is considered highly toxic and may cause severe skin and respiratory irritation. Strict storage controls, safe handling procedures, and appropriate PPE are essential.
