POTASSIUM CYANATE Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Potassium cyanate (KOCN) is a white, crystalline solid used in various industrial and chemical applications. It is employed as a curing agent for certain resins, in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals, and as a reagent in chemical synthesis. Potassium cyanate is highly toxic and can cause skin and eye irritation upon contact, and respiratory distress if inhaled. Proper handling includes the use of protective equipment such as gloves, goggles, and respirators, and working in a well-ventilated area. Storage should be in tightly sealed containers, away from incompatible substances like strong acids. Disposal must follow local regulations to prevent environmental contamination. Potassium cyanate is valued for its versatility and effectiveness in various chemical processes, providing essential reactivity and functionality.
