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

Monomethylamine, often abbreviated as MMA and also known as methylamine, is an organic amine with the chemical formula CH5N widely used as a chemical intermediate in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, dyes, and other specialty chemicals. This reactive amine is commonly handled as a gas or aqueous solution in industrial processing. In equipment containing monomethylamine, O-rings, rubber seals, gaskets, and plastic components should be evaluated for chemical compatibility because amine compounds can affect certain rubber materials. Proper handling, storage, ventilation, and protective practices are recommended to maintain safe operation.
