METHYLENE IODIDE Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Methylene iodide is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with the chemical formula CH₂I₂, used in various industrial and chemical applications. It is primarily employed as a heavy liquid for density separations, as a solvent in organic synthesis, and as a reagent in laboratory research. Methylene iodide is also used in the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Despite its utility, methylene iodide 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.
