Liquid oxygen, commonly known as LOX and identified as O2 in cryogenic liquid form, is a pale blue oxidizing fluid produced by the fractional distillation of air. It is widely used as an oxidizer in rocket propulsion, medical oxygen systems, and industrial processes requiring high purity oxygen. In equipment handling LOX, compatibility with O-rings, rubber seals, gaskets, and plastic components must be carefully evaluated due to the extreme cryogenic temperatures and strong oxidizing properties. Proper storage, specialized handling procedures, ventilation, and appropriate PPE are essential for safe operation.
