METHYL HEXYL KETONE Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Methyl hexyl ketone, also known as 2-octanone, is a colorless liquid with the chemical formula C8H16O widely used as an industrial solvent in coatings, inks, and adhesive formulations. It is also used as a chemical intermediate in pharmaceutical and agrochemical synthesis and in certain flavor and fragrance applications. Exposure to methyl hexyl ketone may cause irritation to the skin, eyes, and respiratory system. In equipment handling this solvent, O-rings, rubber seals, gaskets, and plastic components should be evaluated for chemical compatibility, as ketone solvents can affect certain rubber materials. Proper handling, storage, ventilation, and protective practices are recommended.
