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

Menthol is a white crystalline solid with a minty aroma, derived from peppermint oil or synthesized chemically. It is used in various consumer and pharmaceutical applications for its cooling and soothing properties. Menthol is commonly employed in cough drops, topical analgesics, oral care products, and as a flavoring agent in foods and beverages. It is also used in cosmetics and personal care products for its refreshing scent. Despite its benefits, menthol can cause skin and eye irritation if not handled properly. Proper handling, storage, and safety measures are essential to ensure safe usage. Regulatory compliance and safety assessments are crucial to minimize the risk of adverse effects in consumer products containing menthol.
