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

Iodoform is a yellow crystalline solid with a distinctive odor, used in various industrial and medical applications. Its chemical formula is CHI₃. Iodoform is primarily used as an antiseptic and disinfectant in wound care and dental procedures. It is also employed in organic synthesis and as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals. Despite its benefits, iodoform can be toxic if inhaled, ingested, or absorbed through the skin in large amounts. It may cause skin irritation and central nervous system effects. Proper handling, storage, and safety measures, including the use of personal protective equipment, are essential to minimize risks and ensure safe usage.
