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

Heptane is a straight-chain alkane with the chemical formula C7H16. It is a colorless, volatile liquid with a mild odor, commonly used as a non-polar solvent in laboratories and industries. Heptane is a component of gasoline, contributing to its volatility and combustion properties. It is also used in the extraction of plant oils, as a cleaning agent, and in the formulation of adhesives and coatings. Due to its low boiling point and ability to dissolve a wide range of substances, heptane is valuable in chemical analysis and processing. Handling heptane requires caution due to its flammability and potential health effects from inhalation.
