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

Sodium Cyanamide is a white, crystalline inorganic compound with the chemical formula Na2CN2. It is used in various industrial and chemical applications, primarily as a fertilizer and in the production of certain chemicals. In agriculture, Sodium Cyanamide is employed as a nitrogen fertilizer, providing a slow-release source of nitrogen for crops. It is also used in the synthesis of certain pharmaceuticals, pesticides, and dyestuffs, providing a reactive source of cyanamide ions. In the chemical industry, Sodium Cyanamide is used as a reagent in the synthesis of various organic compounds and as a hardening agent in the production of steel. Proper handling and storage of Sodium Cyanamide are essential to prevent moisture absorption and maintain its quality. It is generally considered safe for use in regulated amounts, 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 Cyanamide a valuable chemical in numerous applications.
