ALUM POTASH Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Alum potash, also known as potassium alum, is a white crystalline compound with the chemical formula KAl(SO4)2·12H2O. It is widely used as a coagulant in water purification, a mordant in dyeing and printing textiles, and in the manufacture of paper, leather, and cosmetics. Alum potash is also used in baking powder and as an astringent in medicinal applications. It is relatively non-toxic but can cause skin and eye irritation. Proper handling and storage are essential to ensure safety.
