FURANE Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Furane, also spelled furan, is a colorless, highly volatile liquid with a mild odor and the chemical formula C4H4O that is used as a solvent and intermediate in chemical synthesis. This flammable heterocyclic compound can cause skin and respiratory irritation if exposure occurs. In systems where furane or furan is present, O-rings, rubber seals, gaskets, and plastic components should be evaluated for chemical compatibility, as reactive solvents may affect certain rubber materials. Proper handling, storage, ventilation, and protective practices are recommended.
