LEAD AZIDE Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Lead azide is a white to pale yellow crystalline solid with the chemical formula Pb(N₃)₂, used primarily as a detonator in explosives. It is highly sensitive to impact, friction, and heat, making it an effective initiator for detonating high explosives. Lead azide is employed in the manufacture of detonators, primers, and other explosive devices. Despite its utility, lead azide is highly toxic and poses significant health and safety risks. Proper handling, storage, and stringent safety measures are essential to minimize the risk of accidental detonation. Personal protective equipment and strict adherence to safety protocols are crucial when working with lead azide.
