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

Pentachlorodiphenyl, also known as polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB), is a group of man-made organic chemicals consisting of carbon, hydrogen, and chlorine atoms. PCBs were widely used as coolants, insulating fluids in electrical equipment, and in other industrial applications due to their chemical stability and insulating properties. However, PCBs are highly toxic and persistent environmental pollutants, leading to their ban in many countries. They can accumulate in the food chain and pose significant health risks, including cancer and adverse effects on the immune, reproductive, nervous, and endocrine systems.
