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

Phenylbenzene, also known as biphenyl, is an aromatic hydrocarbon with the chemical formula C12H10. It is a white crystalline solid with a distinct odor, used primarily as an intermediate in the production of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), dyes, and pharmaceuticals. Biphenyl is also employed as a heat transfer agent and in the preservation of citrus fruits. Handling requires caution due to its potential health hazards, including skin and respiratory irritation. Proper storage and safety measures are essential to prevent exposure and ensure safe use in industrial and laboratory applications.
