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

Lactones are a class of cyclic esters used in various industrial, pharmaceutical, and fragrance applications. They are known for their pleasant aromas and are widely used as flavoring agents and fragrance ingredients. Lactones are also valuable intermediates in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Despite their benefits, some lactones can be hazardous if inhaled, ingested, or absorbed through the skin. 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.
