OXYGEN, LIQUID Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Liquid oxygen, commonly called LOX or cryogenic oxygen, is oxygen in its liquid state formed at temperatures below -183°C (-297°F). This pale blue liquid is a powerful oxidizing agent used in aerospace propulsion, medical oxygen supply systems, and industrial processes requiring high purity oxygen. In equipment handling LOX, compatibility with O-rings, rubber seals, gaskets, and plastic components must be carefully evaluated because cryogenic temperatures and oxidizing conditions can affect sealing materials. Proper insulated storage, specialized handling procedures, ventilation, and appropriate PPE are essential for safe operation.
