ZINC NITRATE Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Zinc nitrate is an inorganic compound with the formula Zn(NO₃)₂. It is a white crystalline solid that is highly soluble in water. Zinc nitrate is used primarily in the synthesis of other zinc compounds and as a catalyst in various chemical reactions. It is also employed in the production of fireworks and explosives, where it acts as an oxidizing agent. In the textile industry, zinc nitrate is used as a mordant in dyeing processes. Due to its oxidizing properties, handling zinc nitrate requires caution to prevent contact with flammable materials and to avoid exposure to heat or open flames.
