METHYL BUTANETHIOL Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Methyl butanethiol is a colorless liquid with a strong, unpleasant odor, used primarily as an odorant in natural gas to detect leaks. It is also employed as a flavoring agent in foods and beverages and as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Despite its utility, methyl butanethiol can cause skin, eye, and respiratory irritation if not handled properly. Proper handling, storage, and safety measures, including the use of personal protective equipment, are essential to ensure safe usage and prevent exposure. Adequate ventilation and spill containment measures are also necessary to prevent accidents and ensure safety.
