TRITIUM Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Tritium is a radioactive isotope of hydrogen with the chemical symbol H-3, used primarily as a tracer in various scientific and medical applications. It is employed in the production of self-luminous devices, such as exit signs and wristwatches, providing long-lasting illumination without the need for an external power source. Tritium is also used in nuclear fusion research and as a component in certain types of nuclear weapons. Proper handling and storage of tritium are essential to maintain its quality and prevent accidents, as it can pose health risks if inhaled or ingested and may cause radiation exposure. Safety measures, including the use of appropriate protective equipment and adherence to handling protocols, are crucial when working with tritium. Its effectiveness as a tracer and its unique properties make tritium a valuable isotope in numerous scientific, medical, and industrial applications, contributing to advancements in research and technology.
