GLAUBER’S SALT Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Glauber's salt, also known as sodium sulfate decahydrate, is a white crystalline solid used in the manufacture of detergents, glass, and paper. It is generally safe but can cause skin and respiratory irritation upon exposure. Proper handling, storage, and the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) are essential to ensure safety.
