NITRIC ACID 3 MOLAR TO 158°F Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Nitric acid 3 molar solution at temperatures up to approximately 158°F is a strong oxidizing acid widely used in industrial processing and laboratory applications. It is commonly used in fertilizer production, explosives manufacturing, pharmaceutical synthesis, and metal etching or surface treatment processes. Because nitric acid is highly corrosive, materials used in fluid systems must be carefully selected. When evaluating chemical compatibility, O-rings, rubber seals, gaskets, and plastic components should be reviewed to prevent degradation or failure. Proper handling, storage, ventilation, and protective equipment are essential to ensure safe operation.
