POTASSIUM NITRATE Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Potassium nitrate (KNO3) is a white, crystalline solid used in various industrial and agricultural applications. It is commonly used as a fertilizer, providing essential nitrogen and potassium to plants. In the chemical industry, potassium nitrate is used as an oxidizing agent, in the manufacture of explosives, fireworks, and as a preservative in food processing. Proper handling requires the use of protective equipment such as gloves and goggles to avoid skin and eye irritation. Storage should be in a cool, dry place, away from incompatible substances like reducing agents. Disposal must follow local regulations to prevent environmental contamination. Potassium nitrate is valued for its versatility and effectiveness in providing essential nutrients and oxidizing properties in various applications.
