PICRIC ACID (AQ) Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Aqueous picric acid is a solution of picric acid in water, which is less hazardous compared to its dry form. It is used in various industrial and laboratory applications, including chemical synthesis, as a reagent, and in the preparation of dyes. The aqueous solution reduces the risk of explosion, but it still requires careful handling. Protective equipment such as gloves, goggles, and face shields should be used to prevent skin and eye contact. Storage should be in cool, well-ventilated areas, away from heat and incompatible substances. Proper disposal methods must be followed to prevent environmental contamination. Although less dangerous than dry picric acid, the aqueous solution still poses significant health risks if ingested or inhaled. Its use is generally restricted to controlled environments where safety protocols can be strictly followed.
