LACQUER SOLVENTS Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Lacquer solvents are a class of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) used to dissolve and thin lacquers, making them easier to apply. These solvents include acetone, toluene, xylene, and butyl acetate. Lacquer solvents are widely used in the paint and coatings industry for their ability to quickly evaporate, leaving a smooth and durable finish. Despite their effectiveness, lacquer solvents pose significant health hazards, including respiratory, skin, and eye irritation. They are also highly flammable and contribute to air pollution. Proper handling, storage, and safety measures, including the use of personal protective equipment and adequate ventilation, are essential to ensure safe usage.
