MANNITOL Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Mannitol is a white crystalline solid with the chemical formula C₆H₁₄O₆, used in various industrial, pharmaceutical, and food applications. It is a sugar alcohol derived from fructose and is commonly employed as a sweetener, diuretic, and osmotic agent. Mannitol is also used in medical settings to reduce intracranial pressure and treat certain kidney conditions. In the food industry, it is used as a low-calorie sweetener and texturizer. Despite its benefits, mannitol can cause gastrointestinal discomfort if consumed in large quantities. Proper handling, storage, and usage guidelines are essential to ensure safety.
