LITHIUM NITRITE Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Lithium nitrite is a white crystalline solid with the chemical formula LiNO₂, used in various industrial and chemical applications. It is primarily employed as a corrosion inhibitor in antifreeze and cooling systems, as a reagent in chemical synthesis, and in laboratory research. Lithium nitrite is effective in preventing the corrosion of metals in cooling systems, enhancing the longevity and efficiency of equipment. Despite its utility, lithium nitrite can cause skin, eye, and respiratory irritation if not handled properly. Proper handling, storage, and safety measures, including the use of personal protective equipment, are essential to ensure safe usage. Adequate ventilation and spill containment measures are also necessary to prevent exposure and accidents.
