MERCURIC IODIDE Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Mercuric iodide is a bright red or yellow crystalline solid with the chemical formula HgI₂, used in various industrial and chemical applications. It is primarily employed as a reagent in chemical synthesis, in the production of other mercury compounds, and as a disinfectant and antiseptic. Mercuric iodide is also used in laboratory research and as a scintillation detector in radiation measurement. Despite its utility, mercuric iodide is highly toxic and poses significant health risks, including neurological damage and potential carcinogenic effects. Proper handling, storage, and stringent safety measures are essential to minimize exposure. Personal protective equipment and adequate ventilation are crucial when working with mercuric iodide.
