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

Methoxychlor is a white crystalline solid with the chemical formula C₁₆H₁₅Cl₃O₂, used as an insecticide to control a wide range of pests in agricultural and residential settings. It is effective against insects such as flies, mosquitoes, and ticks. Methoxychlor works by interfering with the nervous system of insects, leading to paralysis and death. Despite its effectiveness, methoxychlor poses environmental and health risks due to its persistence in the environment and potential to bioaccumulate. Proper handling, storage, and safety measures, including the use of personal protective equipment, are essential to minimize risks and ensure safe usage.
