JP-8 Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

JP-8 is a kerosene-based aviation fuel used primarily in military jet engines. It provides efficient combustion, high energy output, and reliable performance in various weather conditions and flight altitudes. JP-8 contains additives to improve stability, prevent icing, and reduce corrosion. It is formulated to meet stringent military standards, ensuring consistent performance and safety. Despite its advantages, JP-8 poses significant safety and environmental risks due to its flammability and potential for spills. Proper handling, storage, and safety measures are essential to minimize risks. Adequate ventilation and spill containment systems are crucial in military and industrial settings to ensure safe usage.
