OXYGEN, COLD Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Cold oxygen refers to oxygen at low temperatures, typically in its liquid state when below -183°C (-297°F). Liquid oxygen (LOX) is used in various applications, including aerospace, medicine, and industrial processes. It serves as a powerful oxidizer in rocket propulsion, providing high-energy combustion. In medicine, cold oxygen is used for respiratory therapy and in oxygen-enriched air for patients. Handling liquid oxygen requires specialized equipment due to its extreme cold and reactivity. Safety measures include using insulated containers, protective gear, and ensuring proper ventilation to avoid fire hazards.
