HYDROGEN CYANIDE Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics
Hydrogen cyanide (HCN) is a colorless, highly toxic, and volatile liquid or gas with a faint, bitter almond odor. It is used in various industrial processes, including the production of synthetic fibers, plastics, dyes, and pesticides. Hydrogen cyanide is also employed in metal refining and electroplating. Despite its industrial utility, it poses severe health hazards, including respiratory failure, cardiac arrest, and death upon exposure. Proper handling, storage, and stringent safety protocols are essential to minimize the risks associated with hydrogen cyanide. Immediate medical attention is required in cases of exposure due to its rapid and lethal effects.
