LEAD NAPHTHENATE Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Lead naphthenate is a lead salt of naphthenic acid, used in various industrial applications. It is employed as a drier in paints, varnishes, and inks, where it helps to accelerate the drying process by promoting oxidative polymerization. Lead naphthenate is also used as a catalyst in chemical reactions and in the production of coatings and adhesives. Despite its utility, lead naphthenate is highly toxic and poses significant health risks, including neurological damage and potential carcinogenic effects. Proper handling, storage, and stringent safety measures are essential to minimize exposure. Personal protective equipment and adequate ventilation are crucial when working with lead naphthenate to ensure safe usage.
