PENTYL PENTANOATE Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Pentyl pentanoate, also known as amyl valerate, is an ester with the chemical formula C10H20O2. It is a colorless liquid with a fruity odor, used primarily as a flavoring agent and fragrance in food, beverages, and cosmetics. Pentyl pentanoate is also employed as a solvent in various industrial applications. It is synthesized through the esterification of pentanol and pentanoic acid. Handling requires care to avoid inhalation or prolonged skin contact, which can cause irritation. Proper storage and safety measures are essential to ensure safe use and maintain its quality.
