ISOBUTYL METHYL KETONE Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Isobutyl methyl ketone (IBMK) is a colorless, flammable liquid with a pleasant odor, used in various industrial applications. It is primarily employed as a solvent in coatings, inks, adhesives, and cleaning agents. IBMK is also used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and other organic compounds. Despite its utility, IBMK poses significant health hazards, including respiratory, skin, and eye irritation. Proper handling, storage, and safety measures, including the use of personal protective equipment, are essential to ensure safe usage. Adequate ventilation and spill containment measures are also necessary to prevent exposure and accidents.
