FURAN (FURFURAN) Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Furan, sometimes referenced alongside furfuran in industrial contexts, is a colorless, highly volatile liquid with a mild odor and the chemical formula C4H4O. It is widely used as a solvent and chemical intermediate in the production of resins and other specialty chemicals. This compound is highly flammable and may cause skin and respiratory irritation upon exposure. When evaluating chemical compatibility, O-rings, rubber seals, gaskets, and plastic components should be carefully selected, as furan solvents can affect certain rubber materials. Proper handling and storage are recommended.
