NITRIC OXIDE Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Nitric oxide (NO) is a colorless gas with significant roles in various biological and industrial processes. In the human body, it acts as a signaling molecule involved in vascular regulation, neurotransmission, and immune response. Industrially, nitric oxide is used in the production of nitric acid, as a precursor in the synthesis of various chemicals, and in the semiconductor industry. Proper handling and storage of nitric oxide are essential to prevent exposure and accidental release. Safety measures should include the use of personal protective equipment, proper ventilation, and adherence to manufacturer guidelines. Regular monitoring and maintenance of systems using nitric oxide ensure optimal performance and safety, making it a crucial component in medical research, industrial applications, and environmental monitoring.
