NITRIC ACID (50 - 100%) Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Nitric acid, in concentrations from about 50 to 100 percent and identified by the formula HNO3, is a highly corrosive mineral acid used in fertilizer production, explosives manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, and metal processing. Concentrated nitric acid is also used for etching, cleaning, and surface treatment of metals and alloys. In systems where it contacts O-rings, rubber seals, gaskets, and plastic components, chemical compatibility should be carefully evaluated to prevent rapid degradation or failure. Proper storage, ventilation, controlled handling procedures, and appropriate PPE are essential for safe operation.
