MERCURY CHLORIDE Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics
Mercury chloride, also known as mercuric chloride or corrosive sublimate, is a white crystalline solid with the chemical formula HgCl₂, used in various industrial and chemical applications. It is primarily employed as a disinfectant and preservative, in the production of other mercury compounds, and in the treatment of wood to prevent decay. Mercury chloride is also used in laboratory research and as a reagent in chemical synthesis. Despite its utility, mercury chloride 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 mercury chloride.
