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

Thiophene is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with the chemical formula C4H4S, used primarily as an intermediate in the synthesis of various organic compounds, including pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and specialty chemicals. It is employed in various industrial and chemical applications, including the production of dyes, resins, and polymers. Thiophene is also used as a solvent and in the preparation of certain heterocyclic compounds. Proper handling and storage of thiophene are essential to maintain its quality and prevent accidents, as it is flammable and can pose health risks if inhaled or ingested. Safety measures, including the use of appropriate protective equipment and adherence to handling protocols, are crucial when working with thiophene. Its versatility and unique properties make thiophene a valuable chemical in numerous industrial and chemical applications, contributing to the synthesis of a wide range of organic compounds and materials.
