LIQUID OXYGEN Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Liquid oxygen (LOX) is a pale blue, highly reactive, and cryogenic liquid used in various industrial, medical, and aerospace applications. It is produced by the fractional distillation of air and is primarily employed as an oxidizer in rocket propulsion, medical breathing gases, and in industrial processes requiring high-purity oxygen. Despite its utility, liquid oxygen poses significant safety hazards due to its strong oxidizing properties and low temperature. It can cause severe burns and react explosively with flammable materials. Proper handling, storage, and stringent safety measures are essential to minimize risks. Personal protective equipment and adequate ventilation are crucial to ensure safe usage.
