COPPER NITRATE Resistant O-Rings and Seals
Copper nitrate, also known as nitric acid, copper salt, or cupric nitrate, is a chemical compound commonly used in industrial applications such as electroplating, leather tanning, water treatment, and fertilizer production. Copper nitrate is an odorless, colorless, and soluble salt that is composed of copper, nitrogen, and oxygen.
When rubber comes into contact with copper nitrate, it can cause a variety of problems. Most commonly, the rubber can become brittle and crack. Additionally, the rubber can become discolored and its surface may become pitted or corroded. In some cases, the rubber can become soft and sticky. These types of failures occur when the rubber material is not compatible with copper nitrate or when copper nitrate is allowed to stay in contact with the rubber for a long period of time.
