MERCURY FULMINATE Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Mercury fulminate is a white to grayish crystalline solid with the chemical formula Hg(CNO)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. Mercury fulminate is employed in the manufacture of detonators, primers, and other explosive devices. Despite its utility, mercury fulminate 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 mercury fulminate.
