NITROGEN TETROXIDE Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Nitrogen tetroxide (N2O4) is a colorless, toxic gas used primarily as an oxidizer in rocket propellants. It exists in equilibrium with nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and is highly reactive. Nitrogen tetroxide is also used in the production of nitric acid and other chemicals. Proper handling and storage of nitrogen tetroxide are essential to prevent exposure and dangerous chemical reactions. Safety measures should include the use of personal protective equipment, proper ventilation, and adherence to strict regulatory guidelines. Specialized training and protocols are necessary for handling nitrogen tetroxide, ensuring the safety of personnel and the environment. Regular monitoring and maintenance of storage and handling systems ensure the containment and security of this hazardous chemical.
