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

Isobutylene is a colorless, flammable gas with a faint gasoline-like odor, used in various industrial applications. It is primarily employed as a feedstock in the production of synthetic rubber, plasticizers, and other chemicals. Isobutylene is also used in the manufacture of fuel additives and as a propellant in aerosol sprays. Despite its utility, isobutylene poses significant safety hazards due to its flammability and potential for explosive mixtures with air. Proper handling, storage, and stringent safety measures are essential to minimize risks and ensure safe usage. Adequate ventilation and leak detection systems are crucial in industrial settings.
