CESIUM FORMATE Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Cesium formate is a crystalline solid with the chemical formula Cs(HCOO). It is used primarily as a drilling fluid in oil and gas exploration due to its high density and low viscosity. Cesium formate is highly soluble in water and provides excellent lubricity and shale stability in drilling operations. Proper handling and storage are essential to ensure safety, as cesium formate can cause skin and respiratory irritation.
