PHENOL, 70% / 30% H2O Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Phenol 70% solution, also known as carbolic acid solution or aqueous phenol with the formula C6H6O, is a mixture of phenol and water widely used as a disinfectant, antiseptic, and chemical intermediate. It is also used in the manufacture of resins, plastics, and pharmaceutical compounds. In equipment where phenol solutions contact O-rings, rubber seals, gaskets, and plastic components, compatibility should be evaluated to prevent swelling or degradation. Because phenol solutions are corrosive and toxic, proper storage, ventilation, careful handling procedures, and appropriate PPE are essential for safe operation.
