HYDROGEN SULFIDE, DRY HOT Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Hydrogen sulfide, commonly called H2S or sour gas, is a colorless, highly toxic gas with a distinctive rotten egg odor widely encountered in petroleum refining, metal processing, and sulfur compound production. In dry, hot service conditions, hydrogen sulfide can be particularly aggressive toward materials and sealing systems. When evaluating chemical compatibility, O-rings, rubber seals, gaskets, and plastic components must be carefully selected to resist degradation in elevated temperature H2S environments. Proper ventilation, gas monitoring, handling procedures, and protective equipment are essential to maintain safety.
