POTASSIUM (MOLTEN) Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Molten potassium is a highly reactive and hazardous substance used in various industrial processes, including the production of fertilizers, potassium compounds, and as a heat transfer medium in certain nuclear reactors. It is a silvery metal that becomes liquid at high temperatures. Molten potassium reacts violently with water and air, releasing heat and forming potassium hydroxide and hydrogen gas, which can ignite. Proper handling requires the use of protective gear such as gloves, goggles, and face shields, and working in an inert atmosphere to prevent contact with moisture and air. Storage should be in sealed, moisture-free containers. Disposal must follow stringent regulations to prevent environmental hazards. Due to its high reactivity, working with molten potassium demands rigorous safety protocols and trained personnel to handle emergencies effectively.
