NICOTINE Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Nicotine is a potent alkaloid found in tobacco plants, used primarily in smoking cessation products and as an insecticide. It acts as a stimulant by binding to nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in the nervous system, producing effects such as increased heart rate, alertness, and dopamine release. Nicotine is highly addictive and poses significant health risks, including cardiovascular disease, respiratory disorders, and cancer. Proper handling and storage of nicotine are essential to prevent accidental exposure and poisoning. Safety measures should include the use of personal protective equipment, proper ventilation, and adherence to manufacturer guidelines. Regular monitoring and maintenance of processes using nicotine ensure optimal performance and safety, making it a critical component in smoking cessation therapies and certain agricultural applications.
