HEPTALDEHYDE (HEPTANAL) Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Heptaldehyde, also known as heptanal, is an organic compound with the chemical formula C7H14O. It is a clear, colorless liquid with a pungent odor. Heptaldehyde is used primarily in the production of perfumes, flavorings, and plasticizers. In the fragrance industry, it serves as an intermediate in the synthesis of various aromatic compounds. Heptanal is also employed in organic synthesis as a building block for the production of other chemicals. Its properties make it valuable in manufacturing processes where specific aldehyde functionalities are required. Due to its reactivity, heptaldehyde should be handled with care, using appropriate safety measures to avoid inhalation and skin contact.
