SODIUM CHLORIDE Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Sodium Chloride, commonly known as table salt, is a white, crystalline compound with the chemical formula NaCl. It is widely used in various industrial, chemical, and food applications. In the food industry, Sodium Chloride is used as a seasoning and preservative, enhancing flavor and extending the shelf life of food products. It is also employed in the production of various chemicals, such as sodium hydroxide and chlorine, through the electrolysis of brine. In the medical field, Sodium Chloride is used in intravenous saline solutions to rehydrate patients and restore electrolyte balance. It is also used in water softening systems, de-icing roads, and as a raw material in the manufacture of soaps and detergents. Proper handling and storage of Sodium Chloride are essential to maintain its quality and prevent moisture absorption. It is generally considered safe for consumption and use, although proper safety measures, including the use of appropriate protective equipment and adherence to handling protocols, are essential to prevent irritation and other health hazards. Its versatility and effectiveness make Sodium Chloride a valuable chemical in numerous applications.
