NITROUS GASES Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Nitrous gases, primarily nitrous oxide (N2O), are colorless gases used in various industrial, medical, and recreational applications. Nitrous oxide is commonly employed as an anesthetic and analgesic in medical settings, a propellant in food products, and as an oxidizer in rocket propulsion. It is also used for its euphoric effects in recreational use. Proper handling and storage of nitrous gases are essential to prevent leaks and ensure safety. Safety measures should include the use of appropriate gas cylinders, proper ventilation, and adherence to industry standards. Regular monitoring and maintenance of systems using nitrous gases ensure optimal performance and safety, making them valuable components in medical, industrial, and recreational applications.
