PICRIC ACID MOLTEN Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Molten picric acid is the liquid form of 2,4,6-trinitrophenol, achieved by heating the solid compound. This form is highly hazardous due to its explosive nature and increased reactivity. It is used in specialized applications, primarily in the production of explosives and chemical synthesis. Handling molten picric acid requires extreme caution, including the use of protective gear such as gloves, goggles, and face shields, as well as working in a well-ventilated area. It must be stored away from sources of heat, shock, and friction, in explosion-proof containers. In case of spills, immediate containment and neutralization are necessary to prevent catastrophic events. Due to its high risk, working with molten picric acid is typically limited to experienced professionals in controlled environments. The substance's volatility and reactivity make it a significant hazard in industrial and laboratory settings.
