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

Methyl mercaptan is a colorless gas with a strong, unpleasant odor, used primarily as an odorant in natural gas to detect leaks. It is also employed as an intermediate in the synthesis of pesticides, pharmaceuticals, and other chemicals. Methyl mercaptan is produced naturally in the decay of organic matter and is present in some foods and beverages. Despite its utility, methyl mercaptan is highly toxic and poses significant health risks if inhaled, ingested, or absorbed through the skin. Proper handling, storage, and stringent safety measures, including the use of personal protective equipment and adequate ventilation, are essential to minimize risks and ensure safe usage.
