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

Nitrobenzene is an organic compound with the formula C6H5NO2, commonly used as an intermediate in the production of aniline, which is a precursor to various dyes, pharmaceuticals, and rubber chemicals. It is also employed as a solvent and in the synthesis of perfumes, pesticides, and other organic compounds. Nitrobenzene is a pale yellow oily liquid with an almond-like odor, and it is highly toxic and potentially carcinogenic. Proper handling and storage of nitrobenzene are essential to prevent exposure and environmental contamination. Safety measures should include the use of personal protective equipment, proper ventilation, and adherence to manufacturer guidelines. Regular monitoring and maintenance of processes using nitrobenzene ensure optimal performance and safety, making it a crucial component in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries.
